Question

An item is regularly priced at 65. It is on sale for 35% off the regular price.
Use the ALEKS calculator to find the sale price.

Answer 1

To find the sale price, you first need to calculate the discount and then subtract it from the regular price.

1. Calculate the discount amount:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Regular Price} \times \text{Discount Rate}
\]
\[
\text{Discount} = 65 \times 0.35 = 22.75
\]

2. Subtract the discount from the regular price to find the sale price:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = \text{Regular Price} - \text{Discount}
\]
\[
\text{Sale Price} = 65 - 22.75 = 42.25
\]

So, the sale price is **42.25**.
