Question

What is the selling price of a $25 meal bought with a 10% off coupon? $

Answer 1

22.50

Explanation:

10% off 25 is equal to (10 x 10) / 100 = 2.5. So if you buy an item at $25 with 10% discounts, you will pay $22.5

Answer 2

$22.50

Explanation:

10% = 10/100 = 0.1

So 10% of $25 = 0.1 x 25 = 2.5

Therefore, if the price of the meal is 25 with 10% off:

25 - 2.5 = $22.50

Or,

If the meal is bought with a 10% off coupon, that means the cost of the meal will now be 90% of the original price (as 100% - 10% = 90%).

90% = 90/100 = 0.9

25 x 0.9 = 22.5
