An item is regularly priced at $39. It is on sale for 65% off the regular price.

Question

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.
