Question

A coat usually on sale for $150 is on sale at 25% off. What is the sale price of the coat?

Answer 1

At $100 off $25
$1 off
`(25)/(100)`
$150 off
`(25.150)/(100)`

=$ 37.5

new price= 150-37.5=112.5

Answer 2

$112.50. 25% is .25 and .25 times 150 equals 37.50, so then you subtract 37.50 from 150 and you get $112.50.
