Question

What is the sale price on a $150 item that is on sale for 25% off?

Answer 1

The price would be `$112.50`.

Explanation:

So the original price is `$150` and the discount is `25%,` right?.

So just get the original price, multiply by the discount and divide by `100` to find `25%.`

`150xx25%=3750/100=37.50`.

So now that you know the amount that you saved, just subtract `37.50` from `150`:

`150-37.50` and you'll get `$112.50` as the sale price.

Answer 2

`$112.5`

Explanation:

The sale price can be found by using this:

Sale price = original price - sale percent`*` original price

And by substituting you get:
Sale Price=`150-25/100*150`

Sale price =`$112.5`

Answer 3

`$112.50`

Explanation:

Instead of finding the amount of reduction for the sale price, we can work with the percentages.

If a discount of `25%` is being given, it means that the sale price is `75%` of the original price.

`100%-25% = 75%`

Find `75%` of `$150`

`75/100 xx 150`

`=$112.50`
