Question

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

$10


$20


$25


$30

Answer 1

To calculate the discounted price of the game, find 25% of the original price, which is $10, and then subtract it from the original price to arrive at the new price of $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the new price of a game after applying a 25% discount to its original price of $40. To find the discount amount, we calculate 25% of $40:

Discount Amount = 25% of $40
Discount Amount = 0.25 × $40
Discount Amount = $10

Now, we subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the new price of the game:

New Price = Original Price - Discount Amount
New Price = $40 - $10
New Price = $30

Answer 2

Hello! The original price of the game is $40, but you get 25% off of it. That means that you still have to pay 75% of the original cost. To find how much the game cost, all you have to do is multiply the original price by the amount you still pay. 40 * 75% (0.75) is 30. There. The cost of the game is $30. The answer is D: $30.
