Question

A sweater normally cost $35. There is a 25% discount. What is the amount of the discount and what is the sale price of the sweater?

Answer 1

multiply 35.00 by .25 or 25% and you get 8.75 and then subtract that from 35 to get $26.25

Explanation:

Answer 2

Discount = 8.75

Sale price = 26.25

Explanation:

Discount = original price * percent off

We know the original price = 35 and the percent off is 25%

Discount = 35*25%

= 35*.25

=8.75

The sale price is the original price minus the discount

Sale price = original price- discount

= 35- 8.75

=26.25
