Question

An item on sale costs 70% of the original price. The original price was $26 .
Use the ALEKS calculator to find the sale price.

Answer 1

To find the sale price, you first need to calculate 70% of the original price.

1. Find 70% of the original price:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} \times 0.70
\]

Substituting the original price:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = 26 \times 0.70
\]

2. Now perform the multiplication:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = 26 \times 0.70 = 18.2
\]

The sale price is **$18.20**.
