Question

An mp3 player is on sale for 25% off. The original price is $52.60. What is the sale price?

Answer 1

First, you need to find 25% of 52.60

Convert 25% to decimal:
25% = .25

Find 25% by multiplying its decimal equivalent by the sales price.

.25 x 52.60 = 13.15

Next, subtract that amount from 52.60 to find the new sale price.

52.60 - 13.15 = 39.45

The final price is $39.45
