Question

An item is regularly priced at 75 $ . It is on sale for 60% off the regular price. How much (in dollars) is discounted from the regular price?

Answer 1

Answer: $45.00

Explanation:

75 x 0.60 = 45

Answer 2

$30

Explanation:

First, change the percentage into decimal:

60% = 60/100 = 0.6

Multiply 75 with 0.6:

75 * 0.6 = 45

Note that this number 45 (0.6 of 75) is the amount off from the original price (75). Subtract 45 from 75

75 - 45 = 30

$30 is your answer
