Question

If I want to purchase a bike that cost $12 and is on sale for 25% off how much will the bike cost before tax

Answer 1

Answer:

$9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Find out what 25% of $12 is

  Multiply $12 by 0.25  (0.25 is 25% as a decimal)

     $12(0.25) = $3

     So the sale is for $3 off of the original price

Step 2:  Subtract $3 from the original price

      $12 - $3 = $9,

     So the price before tax will be $9
