Question

Mike wants to buy a sleeping bag for a camping trip. He finds one that costs $52.75 with a 25% discount. How much will he pay for it?
$13.19
$39.56
$65.94

Answer 1

Just by looking at the answer choices, you can eliminate the last one because it is greater than the original price. And the first one is way too less, so your answer is B

Answer 2

 Half of $52.75 is 50% so do half of that is about $26.37. That crosses out $13.19. $65.94 is above the price of the sleeping bag before the discount.
 The answer would be $39.56
