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.
