Question

A phone sells for $250. It is now on sale for 1/5 off the original price. April has a coupon for an extra 10% off the sale price. To the nearest dollar, how much less than the original price will April pay for the phone? *

Answer 1

She will pay $75.00 less.

Explanation:

To get ⅕ of 250, divide it by 5. (250÷5=50)

You also need to take 10% off of the original price. To do that, multiply 250 by 0.1. (250×0.1=25)

In total, she will pay $75.00 less, or $175.00. (50+25=75) (250-75=175)
