Question

If you only have the original price ($24.50) and the discount is 18% how do you find the sale price?

Answer 1

You multiply 24.50 by the decimal form of 18%, 0.18.
So, 24.50 x 0.18 = 4.41
So 18% of 24.50 is 4.41. So you subtract 4.41 from 24.50
24.50 - 4.41 = 20.09
So the sale price is $20.09

Answer 2

Imagine that 24.50 is 100%. When you get a discount, you have to devide. So from there you find out 50% the 25% and so on...
