Answer:

$9

Explanation:

price of an item=$18

discount=50%

sale price =? (be x)

sale price= original price -discount% of original price

x=$18 -50/100 * $18

x=$1800-$900/100

=$900/100

=$9

therefore sale price of an item is $9.

Rewrite 50% as a decimal : 0.50

Multiply the price by 0.50:

18 x 0.50 = 9

The sale price is $9
