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
$45
B
$150
C
$15
D
$2.40

Answer 1

To find the sale price after applying the 25% coupon, you first need to calculate the discount and then subtract it from the regular price.

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

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

Therefore, the sale price is \( \boxed{45} \).
