Answer 2

Answer:

QUESTION 18

The original price is $4.50

The discount is 26%

They are asking for the sale price which the price after the discount.

So,

The original price means 100% of the cost, like there is no discount at all.

But then we have to apply a 26% discount which means to subtract 26% (the discount) from 100% (the original price)

The new price of the item has to be 74% of the original price.

74% of $4.50   is the same as saying 26% discount.

But what is the number?

To calculate 74% of $4.50, turn 74% into a decimal which is 0.74, then multiply it by 4.50.

0.74 x 4.50   = 3.33

In conclusion, after a 26% discount on an item that is originally $4.50, the new price (sale price) of the item is now $3.33
