Question

Mike wants to buy a sleeping bag for a camping trip. He finds one that costs $52.75 with a 25% discount. How much will he pay for it?

Answer 1

First convert the 25% discount to a decimal by dividing it by 100
\[25÷100=0.25\]

Then multiply this by $52.75
\[0.25∗52.75=13.19\]

Then subtract $52.75 by a $13.19 discount
\[52.75−13.19=$39.56\]
