Question

Rachel and David were shopping for holiday gifts when they noticed a Thanksgiving sweater on the discount rack. Rachel really wanted the sweater, even though she wouldn’t be wearing it until Thanksgiving of 2021! Part A: ​If the original price of the sweater was $24.00, and the sweater is on sale for 60% off, what is the sale price?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Sales\ Price = \ 9.60$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Price = \ 24.00$

$Discount = 60\%$

Required

Determine the sales price

First, we calculate the discount price

$Discount\ Price = Price * Discount$

$Discount\ Price = \ 24.00 * 60\%$

$Discount\ Price = \ 14.4$

The sales price is then calculated by subtracting the discount price from the original price of the item

$Sales\ Price = Price - Discount\ Price$

$Sales\ Price = \ 24.00 - \ 14.40$

$Sales\ Price = \ 9.60$
