Question

you have a coupon for 25% off at the record store, and the cd you want retails for $19.96. how much will it cost you?

Answer 1

If you want to use the coupon:

First, find 25% of 19.96

0.25 * 19.96 = 4.99

Subtract this from the amount:

19.96 - 4.99 = 14.97

So it will only cost you $14.97

Answer 2

ok multiply 19.96 by .25

you will get 4.99

subtract 19.96-4.99

your answer will be 14.97 and that's how much the CD will cost you.
