Question

A $30 birthday cake is discounted 25%. After the discount, what is the price of

the birthday cake?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A 25 % discount means you pay the remaining 75 %

75 % is .75 in decimal

.75 * $ 30 = $22.50 final cost

Answer 2

Answer: $22.50

Step-by-step explanation: In order to fine the sale price, we first need to find the discount.

Original Price x Rate of Discount = Discount

30 x .25 = 7.5 ⇒ Discount

Original Price - Discount = Sale Pice

30 - 7.5 = 22.5

So the sale price of the cake is $22.50.
