Question

kristin harris bought a dress that was on sale for 25 % off the regular price of 78 $ . what was the sale price ?

Answer 1

Answer: $58.50

Explanation: In order to find the sale price of the dress, we first need to find the discount. The formula for discount is shown below.

Original Price × Rate of Discount = Discount

So here, the original price is $78 and the

rate of discount is 25% off or .25.

So we multiply (78)(.25) to get 19.50 so the discount is $19.50.

Now we can find the sale price.

The formula for sale price is shown below.

Original Price - Discount = Sale Price

So here, the original price is $78 and the discount is $19.50.

So subtracting 78 - 19.50, we get 58.50.

So the sale price is $58.50.
