Question

What is the final sale price of a $12 dollar calculator after a 25% discount?

Answer 1

$9.00
explaination:
1. Convert 25% to a decimal by dividing by 100: 25/100 = 0.25.
2. Multiply list price by decimal percent: 12*0.25 = 3
3. Subtract discount amount from list price: 12- 3 = 9

Answer 2

$9.00

Explanation:

Replacing the given values in formula (a) we have:

Amount Saved = Original Price x Discount in Percent / 100. So,

Amount Saved = 140 x 35 / 100

Amount Saved = 4900 / 100

Amount Saved = $49 (answer).

In other words, a 35% discount for a item with original price of $140 is equal to $49
