Question

7. A BOOKSTORE WAS SELLING BOOKS FOR 50% OFF. A SHELF IN THE STORE HAD A SIGN AS SHOWN:
"BOOKS ON THIS SHELF TAKE AN ADDITIONAL 25% OFF"
LETA PICKED OUT BOOKS FROM THE DISCOUNT SHELF THAT HAD A REGULAR PRICE OF $100. HOW MUCH
DID LETA PAY FOR THE DISCOUNTED BOOKS?

Answer 1

Answer:

Leta payed $37.50

Step-by-step explanation:

50% is another way of saying half. So half of 100 is 50. She is down to $50.00 If you take another 25% off then it is $37.50. This is because 25% of 50 is 12.50. If you subtract 12.5 from 50 then you get 37.50. This is how I know it is $37.50. Hope this helps! :)
