A pair of jeans that originally costs $42 is 25% off. Find the sale price.

Asked by joshuarob1957

Answer (2)

Original Price = $42 Discount = 25% ---------> 25% is discount because it says 25% off!!! Now, Sale price = original price - discount % of original price = 42 - 25% of 42 = 42 - (25/100) * 42 = 42 - 0.25 * 42 = 42 - 10.5 = 31.5
So, the sale price is $31.5

The sale price of the jeans, originally priced at $42 with a 25% discount, is calculated to be $31.50. This is found by determining that the discount amount is $10.50, which is then subtracted from the original price. Therefore, the final price after the discount is applied is $31.50.
