Question

A board game that normally sells for $34.95 is on sale at an 18% discount. What is the sale price of the board game?

Answer 1

An 18% discount translates to the decimal fraction (1-0.18), or 0.82.

The sale price of the board game is then 0.82($34.95) = $28.66.

Answer 2

34.95 x 18%= 6.29

34.95-6.29= 28.66

$28.66 is the sale price
