Question

Light bulbs usually cost 2$. They are on sale for 0.50 of the regular price. What is the sale price? Is this a better price than if the sale price were 0.35 of the regular price?

Answer 1

The sale price is $1

$1 is not a better price since there is a cheaper price of $0.7

Explanation:

Original price is $2

The price now is 0.5 × $2 = $1

If the sale price was 0.35 of the original price;

It would be 0.35 × $2 = $0.7

$1 is not a better price since there is a cheaper price of $0.7
