Question

Isaac wanted to buy a new Michael Jordan jersey. The jersey was originally

$120. If Isaac has a coupon for 25% off, how much will he pay for the
jersey?

Answer 1

To calculate the discounted price for the jersey, multiply the original price by 25% to find the discount amount ($30), then subtract this from the original price. Isaac will pay $90 for the jersey after the discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isaac wants to buy a new Michael Jordan jersey at a 25% discount. The original price of the jersey is $120. To calculate the discounted price, first find the amount of the discount by multiplying the original price by the discount percentage. The calculation is as follows:

• Discount amount = Original price × Discount percentage
• Discount amount = $120 × 0.25
• Discount amount = $30

Subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the final price Isaac will pay:

• Final price = Original price - Discount amount
• Final price = $120 - $30
• Final price = $90

Therefore, Isaac will pay $90 for the Michael Jordan jersey after applying the 25% off coupon.

Answer 2

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

first, take 25% of 120

then, turn the percent to a decimal (move the percent to the left twice, equals 0.25)

0.25 times 120

this equals 0.3

then turn the decimal to a whole number by moving the decimal to the right two times

0.3= 30

$30
