Question

1. single percent: a backpack is originally priced at $74 and is on sale for 25% off. what is the sale price?

Explanation:

Step1: Find the discount amount

The discount is 25% of the original price. So we calculate 25% of $72. 25% can be written as 0.25 or $\frac{1}{4}$. Using the formula: Discount = Percentage off × Original Price. So Discount = $0.25\times72 = 18$.

Step2: Calculate the sale price

Sale Price = Original Price - Discount. So Sale Price = $72 - 18 = 54$.

Answer:

The sale price of the backpack is $54.
