Question

a skateboard that cost $53 was put on sale for 25% discount. What was the sale price of the skateboard?

Answer 1

53 is 100% of the price. If you remove 25% of the price you have 100%-25%=75%. so you multiply 53 by 75% or .75 therefore: 53*.75=$39.75

Answer 2

53(.25)=13.25
53-13.25=39.75
The sale price was $39.75
