Given the statement:
An item is regularly priced at $40. It is on sale for 45% off the regular price
Determine the sales price.
Solution:
In order to determine the sales price, we must first multiply the decimal value of 45% to 40, the subtract the difference to 40. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 45/100
= 0.45
= ($40)(0.45)
= $18
= $40 - $18
= $22
Final answer:
= $22
