Question

A board game that normally costs $30 is on sale for 25 percent off. What is the sale price of the game?

$22.50
$27.50
$32.50
$37.50

Answer 1

Answer: A: $22.50

Explanation:

The original price of the game, $30, is 100%.

If the game if 25% off, then it will be, (100 - 25), 75% of its original price.

All we need to do is 75% x 30:

0.75 x 30 = 7.5 x 3 = $22.50

So your answer is A: $22.50

Answer 2

22.50

Explanation:

25% of 30 is 7.50

30-7.50 is 22.50
