The original cost of a lamp is $18.95. The lamp is on sale for 25% off. How much will you pay

Answer 1

$14.21

Explanation:

To find 25% of 18.95, you can multiply 18.95×0.25, which approximately equals $4.74. Then subtract $4.74 from $18.95 to get $14.21

Answer 2

$14.2125

Explanation:

We have been given that the original cost of a lamp is $18.95. The lamp is on sale for 25% off.

Since the lamp is on a 25% sale, then the cost of the lamp would be 75% (100%-25%) of the original price.

`\text{Cost of lamp after sale}=\$18.95* (75)/(100)`

`\text{Cost of lamp after sale}=\$18.95* 0.75`

`\text{Cost of lamp after sale}=\$14.2125`

Therefore, you will have to pay $14.2125 for the lamp.
