Question

John is going camping, and he needs to buy a tent. The outdoor store has one that cost $90, but it's on sale for 25% off. What is the sale price? * A.$22.50

B.$65.00
C.$67.50
B.$112.50 ​

Answer 1

Can’t John solve this himself? He probably has a calculator on hand too.

Answer 2

Answer: C. $67.50

Explanation:

1. Convert 25% into a decimal (0.25)

2. Multiply 90 by 0.25 to get the amount of money discounted. (90x0.25=22.5=$22.50)

3. Subtract 22.5 from 90 to get the sales price. (90-22.5=67.5=$67.50)
