Question

If the original price of each candle she bought was $16 and they were on sale for 75% off. How much did she save for each candle?

Answer 1

Since the purchase price is $16 and the discount is 75%, you multiply 15 times 75 and that gets you 1,200.

Basically, 1,200 is converted into $12.00 since we are talking about money.

To find out how much she saved you subtract 16 minus 12 and you should get 4.
