A backpack that regularly sells for $26 is on sale for 25% off the regular price. What is the sale price of the backpack

Respuesta :

Answer:

Sale price of backpack is $19.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price of backpack = $26

Discount = 25%

We need to find sale price.

First we will find amount that will be discounted, and then subtract from original price.

So, Finding discount price

[tex]25\%of 26\\=\frac{25}{100}\times 26\\=6.5[/tex]

So, there will be discount of $6.5

Now, the sale price will be:

Sale price = Original Price - Discount

Sale Price = 26 - 6.5

Sale Price = 19.5

So, Sale price of backpack is $19.5
