Question

"If Tom buys a red skateboard, for $50 and then Anne buys the same skateboard for 25% off. How much did Anne pay for her skateboard?

Answer 1

all you need to do is take 25% of $50
25% converted to a number is 0.25
so you just need to do (50)(.025) = 12.5$ <- this is how much it is discounted for
so you need to do 50-12.5 to see how much anne paid for
so your answer is $37.50
