Answer 1

Answer:

$8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that at a video arcade action video games usually cost $12.50. This week they are on sale for 30% off.

The sale price of the action video-game would be 70% (100%-30%) of $12.50.

$\text{The sale price of the action video-game}=\ 12.50\times \frac{70}{100}$

$\text{The sale price of the action video-game}=\ 12.50\times 0.70$

$\text{The sale price of the action video-game}=\ 8.75$

Therefore, the sale price of the action video game would be $8.75.
