Question

A new novel is selling for $17.95. If it is on sale at 40% off, find the amount of discount and the sale price.

A. Discount: $10.77; Sale Price: $7.18

B. Discount: $4.39; Sale Price: $13.56

C. Discount: $13.56; Sale Price: $4.39

D. Discount: $7.18; Sale Price: $10.77

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

multiply $17.95 by 40% to get the discount ($17.95 x .4), which equals $7.18.

the sale price is the initial price of the book less the discount ($17.95-$7.18), which equals $10.77.
