Question

A store sells baskets for 50% off the retail price. The retail price of a basket is $24. What is the sale price?

Answer 1

12 I think because 50 percent is half

Answer 2

The sale price would be the difference, after you have multiplied the retail price by the proportion or amount that it has reduced by, in this case 50%. Here it would simply be 24 - 12 = 12.

The solution is B. $12.
