Question

An item is regularly priced at $25. Lamar bought it on sale for 15% off the regular price.

Answer 1

To calculate the discount amount, multiply the regular price by the 15% discount rate:

Discount = $25 * 0.15 = $3.75

Then subtract the discount from the regular price to find the sale price:

Sale price = $25 - $3.75 = $21.25

Lamar bought the item for $21.25.
