Mike wants to buy a sleeping bag for a camping trip. He finds one that costs $52.75 with a 25% discount. How much will he pay for it?
Answer:
$39.5625 will he pay for it
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the given statement:
Mike wants to buy a sleeping bag for a camping trip. He finds one that costs $52.75 with a 25% discount
⇒\(\text{Cost of a sleeping bag} = \$ 52.75\) and discount = 25%
Discount on a sleeping bag is:
⇒\(\frac{25}{100} \cdot 52.75\)
Simplify:
\(\text{Discount on a sleeping bag} = \$ 13.1875\)
We have to find how much will he pay for it.
He pay for the sleeping bag for a camping trip is:
⇒\(\text{Cost of a sleeping bag} - \text{Discount on a sleeping bag}\)
⇒\(52.75-13.1875\)
⇒\(\$ 39.5625\)
Therefore, $39.5625 will he pay for it
