Question

An item is regularly priced at 22. Leila bought it at a discount of 60% off the regular price.
Use the ALEKS calculator to find how much Leila paid.

Answer 1

To find out how much Leila paid for the item after a 60% discount, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the amount of the discount**:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Regular Price} \times \text{Discount Percentage}
\]
\[
\text{Discount} = 22 \times 0.60 = 13.2
\]

2. **Subtract the discount from the regular price** to find the sale price:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = \text{Regular Price} - \text{Discount}
\]
\[
\text{Sale Price} = 22 - 13.2 = 8.8
\]

Leila paid **8.8** for the item.
