Question

An Item is regularly priced at $60. It is now priced at a discount of 65% off the regular price. What is the price now?

Answer 1

$21.00

Explanation:

$60.00*(1.00-.65)

$60.00*(35)

$21.00

Answer 2

$21

Explanation:

There are two ways to do this question:

1. Multiply 60 by .65 and minus the product from the original price ($60)

2. Multiply 60 by .35 (This is because the discounted price maintains 35% of the regular price)

Let's do it both ways:

1. (60)(.65) = 39

60 - 39 = 21

2. (60)(.35) = 21

Therefore, the price now is $21.

I hope this helps!!
