Question

A video game store is having a sale on a popular game. The original price of the game is $60. During the sale, the store offers a 25% discount. (7.RP.3) (3 pts)(1 point) a.) What is the sale price of the game after the discount? $

Answer 1

To find the sale price of the game after the 25% discount, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the amount of the discount:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate}
\]
\[
\text{Discount} = 60 \times 0.25 = 15
\]

2. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount}
\]
\[
\text{Sale Price} = 60 - 15 = 45
\]

Therefore, the sale price of the game after the discount is **$45**.
