Question

Jim bought an $89 calculator discounted 25%. What did he pay for the calculator?

A. $66.75
B. $74.50
C. $72.50
D. $75.50

Answer 1

Finding 25% of something is 1/4 of something, basically halting your number, then halting it again

89 > (half the 80 = 40, half the 9= 4.5) 44.5, then half again, = 22.25, then do

$89 - $22.25 = your answer

Answer 2

66.75 is the correct answer
