Question

Martin wants to buy a new CD player. The

regular price of the CD player is $175. If he
waits until Wednesday, he can save 25%.
How much money will he save if he waits
until Wednesday to buy the CD player?

Answer 1

$131.25

Explanation:

Take the $175 price and divide it by 0.25, which is the decimal version of 25%. You should get 43.25 which is 25% of 175. Then subtract 43.25 from 175 to get the final answer of $131.25 for the CD player if Martin buys it on Wednesday.
