Question

If a new lacrosse stick is labeled $51, what would the new price be if the sign above it says "50% off"?

Answer 1

Cost of the new lacrosse stick = $51
Percentage of discount on the new lacrosse stick = 50%
Then
Amount of discount on the new lacrosse stick = (50/100) * 51 dollars
                                                                           = 51/2 dollars
                                                                           = 25.50 dollars
So the cost of the new lacrosse stick after discount is $25.5 and it has already been proved via the above deduction. I hope the procedure is not complicated for you to understand. Only be careful about the calculation part. Other than that there is nothing complicated about the problem.

Answer 2

$25.50 ia the exact amount
