Answer 2

$8.75

Explanation:

We have been given that at a video arcade action video games usually cost $12.50. This week they are on sale for 30% off.

The sale price of the action video-game would be 70% (100%-30%) of $12.50.

`\text{The sale price of the action video-game}=\$12.50* (70)/(100)`

`\text{The sale price of the action video-game}=\$12.50* 0.70`

`\text{The sale price of the action video-game}=\$8.75`

Therefore, the sale price of the action video game would be $8.75.
