  1. A
    $247.50\$247.50
  2. $225\$225Answer
  3. C
    $240\$240
  4. D
    $25\$25

Answer

The final sale price is $225\$225.
To find the final sale price, first calculate the discount amount by finding 10%10\% of $250\$250, which is $25\$25. Then, subtract the discount amount from the original price: $250−$25=$225\$250 - \$25 = \$225.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate the discount amount by finding 10%10\% of the regular price.
0.10×250=250.10 \times 250 = 25
The discount amount must be determined before it can be subtracted from the total.
2
Subtract the discount amount from the regular price.
250−25=225250 - 25 = 225
The final sale price is the original price minus the discount savings.
