Sarah has a coupon for 25% off of any item at the Big Fish Store. If she buys an item regularly marked $60, what is her sale price?

Question

A
$150
B
$15
C
$2.40
D
$45

Answer 1

To find Sarah's sale price after applying the 25% off coupon, you first need to calculate the amount of the discount and then subtract that from the regular price.

1. Calculate the discount: \[ \text{Discount} = \text{Regular Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 60 \times 0.25 = 15 \]

2. Subtract the discount from the regular price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Regular Price} - \text{Discount} = 60 - 15 = 45 \]

So, Sarah's sale price is $45.

The correct answer is D. $45.
