Question

In a candy store, a $5.00 jar of candy is labeled, 50% off. What is the discount? What is the sale price of the jar of candy

Answer 1

•❋So you have something that is %5.00 but 50% off.
Well lets find 50% of that $5.00 and we get $2.50.
What is the discount? You save $2.50.
Check our work:
2.50+2.50=5.00 So we are correct on it being half off.
•❋Price of candy jar = $2.50

Answer 2

Answer:

$2.5

Explanation:

50% means half. If you divide 5 by 2, then you would get 5. For proof, multiply  2 by 2.5. You should get 5.
