Answer 2

$39.5625 will he pay for it

Explanation:

As per the given statement:

Mike wants to buy a sleeping bag for a camping trip. He finds one that costs $52.75 with a 25% discount

⇒
`\text{Cost of a sleeping bag} = \$ 52.75` and discount = 25%

Discount on a sleeping bag is:

⇒
`(25)/(100) \cdot 52.75`

`\text{Discount on a sleeping bag} = \$ 13.1875`

We have to find how much will he pay for it.

He pay for the sleeping bag for a camping trip is:

⇒
`\text{Cost of a sleeping bag} - \text{Discount on a sleeping bag}`

⇒
`52.75-13.1875`

⇒
`\$ 39.5625`
