Question

An item is regularly priced at $39. It is on sale for 65% off the regular price.
Use the ALEKS calculator to find the sale price.

Answer 1

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:

1. Calculate the amount of the discount:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Regular Price} \times \left( \frac{\text{Discount Percentage}}{100} \right)
\]
\[
\text{Discount} = 39 \times 0.65 = 25.35
\]

2. 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**.
