Difficulty: EasyDiscounts and Sale Prices

A photographer is buying a new camera bag. The original price of the bag is $80\$80. If the store is having a clearance sale and offers a 25%25\% discount, what is the final sale price of the camera bag in dollars?

Answer: 60 dollars

Answer

The final sale price of the camera bag is $60\$60.
To find the final sale price, first calculate the discount amount by multiplying the original price ($80\$80) by the discount rate (25%25\% or 0.250.25), which equals $20\$20. Then, subtract this discount from the original price ($80−$20\$80 - \$20) to get the final sale price of $60\$60.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate the discount amount in dollars.
$20\$20
The discount is 25%25\% of the original price, so we multiply $80\$80 by 0.250.25.
2
Calculate the final sale price by subtracting the discount from the original price.
$60\$60
The final sale price is the original price minus the discount savings ($80−$20\$80 - \$20).
