Question

Shawn downloads movies at a base price of $2 per movie. If he downloads 5 movies, he will get a 25% discount. How much will Shawn save on the base price if he downloads 5 movies?

Answer 1

Hi there!

First, you will need to multiply the amount of movies times the base price.

5 * 2 = 10

Now, 25% is a quarter and we know a quarter of 10 is 2.5.

This means that the normal price with no deal will be $10.

Subtract $2.50 and you have your answer!

10 - 2.5 = 7.5

He only has to pay $7.50 and saves $2.50!
