alleryStart learning →A 200 dollar coat at 25 percent off has a sale price of:
A250 dollars
B150 dollars
C50 dollars
D175 dollars
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 150 dollars
1. The sale price is what remains after the discount.
2. The amount of discount is the discount rate times the original price.
3. Twenty-five percent of 200 dollars is 50 dollars.
4. Subtracting that from 200 dollars leaves 150 dollars.
5. The sale price should always be less than the original price, and it is.
