Question

Sondra Anderson was looking at a winter coat that regularly sells for $179.99. On the rack was a sign that read 25% off all winter coats. What will the sale price be of the coat that Sondra wants to buy?

Answer 1

Answer:
`The\text{ sales price of the coat Sandra want to buy = \$134.99}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The regular price of the coat = $179.99

Percent-off the regular price = 25%

To find:

The sales price of the coat

To determine the sales price of the cot, we need to first find the amount of discount

`\begin{gathered} Discount\text{ = 179.99 }*\text{ 25\%} \\ Discount\text{ = 179.99 }*\text{ 0.25} \\ Discount\text{ = 44.9975} \end{gathered}`

The sales price = Original price - discount

`\begin{gathered} The\text{ sales price = 179.99 - 44.9975} \\ \\ The\text{ sales price = 134.9925} \\ \\ The\text{ sales price of the coat Sandra want to buy = \$134.99} \end{gathered}`
