Question

A cost regularly priced at $188 is on sale for 25% off . What is the sale price ?

Answer 1

To find the sale price, you first turn the percentage into a decimal. 25% into a decimal is .25. Now multiply .25 by 188, which is 47. The discount price is 47. So you subtract 188 by 47, resulting in the sale price.
Answer: $141

Answer 2

You need to multiply 188 by 25%. But first convert 25% to a decimal 0.25.
188*0.25 is 47
Now we subtract 188 - 47
Which is 141
$141 is the sales price.
