Question

A shirt is on sale for 25% off its original price. If the shirt cost $40 , how much will the shirt cost after the discount?

Answer 1

A shirt's original cost is $40

If a discount of 25% is taken of the original cost,

The discount will be,

`\begin{gathered} 25\text{\% discount = }(25)/(100)*40=\text{\$10} \\ \text{Discount taken off is \$10} \end{gathered}`

The cost of the shirt after the discount will be,

`\text{Cost after 25\% discount = \$40 - \$10 = \$30}`

Hence, the cost of the shirt after the discount is $30
