Question

Susan is buying a ring that is regularly 64.95 and is on sale for 50% off. Which expression can be used to estimate the amount of the discount on the ring

Answer 1

If the ring is regularly 64.95 and the sale is 50% off, the discount is 50% of the original price.

 

Remember that 50% is 50/100, which is .50 in decimal form.

 

So, the amount of the discount is (.50)(64.95)
