Question

the regular price of a hand-held CD player is $36.00. it is on sale for 25% off. What is the amount of the discount?

Answer 1

A $36 item is 25% off. This means we can multiply 36 by 0.25 to find out how big the discount is.

$36*0.25=$9

Answer 2

Divide 36 by 4 to find what one quarter, or 25% is. 36/4=9
