Question

Difficulty: EasyPercentage Change, Markups, and Discounts

Calculate the final sale price based on the given discount.

Answer:A mechanic buys a set of wrenches with a regular price of $80.00\$80.00. If he receives a 25%25\% discount, the final price he pays is $【60】\$【60】.

Answer

60.00
To find the final price, first calculate 25%25\% of the $80.00\$80.00 regular price. Convert 25%25\% to a decimal (0.250.25) and multiply by the regular price: 80×0.25=2080 \times 0.25 = 20. This means the discount is $20.00\$20.00. To find the final price paid, subtract this discount from the original price: 80−20=6080 - 20 = 60.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate the dollar amount of the discount.
$80.00×0.25=$20.00\$80.00 \times 0.25 = \$20.00
The discount is 25% of the regular price.
2
Subtract the discount amount from the regular price to find the final price.
$80.00−$20.00=$60.00\$80.00 - \$20.00 = \$60.00
The final price is the original price minus the calculated discount.
