Question 920621: A coat is on sale for 25%off the original price of the coat is $75, what is the discounted price?

Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Original Price: $75

25% of Original Price = 25% of $75 = 0.25*75 = 18.75

The discount is $18.75. This is amount you save.

Final Price = (Original Price) - (Discount)

Final Price = (75) - (18.75)

Final Price = 56.25

-------------------------------------------------------

Alternative Method:

25% off means you pay for 100-25 = 75% of the original price

75% of 75 = 0.75*75 = 56.25

-------------------------------------------------------

Either way, the final answer is $56.25
