Question

The thrift store is selling their old DVDs. When the DVDs first came out, they sold for $19. They have now been marked down by 75%.
A stack of D V D's is shown. They are marked seventy-five percent off.

What is the discounted price of a DVD?

Enter the correct answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's what we have to do:

1. 19 x 0.75

= 14.25

2. 19 - 14.25

= 4.75

3. 4.75 + 14.25

= $19

The Discount is $4.75, and the sale price is $19.00.

This strategy is correct and you should use it. I was confused from the answer, but this strategy has gotten every question correct. I used two types of calculators to double check.  I redid the equation three times. I am seriously confused. Hope this answer helped!

If this was not helpful, there are tons of special calculators on the internet. Such as the percent calculator, fraction calculator, and even markup and markdown/discount calculators.  

Answer 2

Answer:

4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

original price (100%) → $19

discounted price ((100-75)%) = (25%) → 25% x $19 = $4.75
