To find the sale price of an item that is regularly priced at $39 and is on sale for 65% off, you can follow these steps:
-
Calculate the amount of the discount: \[ \text{Discount} = \text{Regular Price} \times \left( \frac{\text{Discount Percentage}}{100} \right) \] \[ \text{Discount} = 39 \times 0.65 = 25.35 \]
-
Subtract the discount from the regular price to find the sale price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Regular Price} - \text{Discount} \] \[ \text{Sale Price} = 39 - 25.35 = 13.65 \]
Therefore, the sale price of the item is $13.65.
