Question

Sarah is shopping for a new dress that costs $80. The store is offering a 25% discount on all items. How much money will Sarah save with the discount, and what will be the final price of the dress?

Answer 1

To determine how much Sarah will save with the discount, we first need to calculate the amount of the discount.

The dress costs $80, and the store is offering a 25% discount.

1. Calculate the discount amount:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 80 \times 0.25 = 20
\]

So, Sarah will save $20.

2. Now, we can calculate the final price after the discount:
\[
\text{Final Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 80 - 20 = 60
\]

Therefore, Sarah will save **$20**, and the final price of the dress will be **$60**.
