Question

The grill was regularly priced at $58, but Jared had a coupon for 25% off. How much money did Jared save by using his coupon?

Answer 1

14.50

Explanation:

You are not asked for the final price. You are asked for the amount saved. Don't confuse the two.

If he gets 25% off then you multiply (25/100) times 58 to get the amount saved.

(25/100) * 58 = 14.50

So his reduction is $14.50

Answer 2

He saves $14.50

Explanation:

We can find the discount by multiplying the price by the percentage off

58* .25 = 14.50

He saves $14.50
