Question

Fiona has a discount code for an online class. The code will give her 25% off the class fee. Fiona choose a class that costs $48 before the discount. How much will Fiona pay for the class?

Answer 1

25% is equal to 1/4, meaning that Fiona is getting 1/4 off of a $48 class. This means that you can multiply 1/4 by 48, which would be 48 divided by 4 which equals 12 dollars. As that would be the amount Fiona has as a discount, just subtract $12 from the overall class fee of $48 and you’ll get $36.
