Math Problem Statement

A shirt was originally priced at $25. The store is having a 15% off sale.

How much will you pay for the shirt after the discount (not including tax)?

Solution

To calculate the price of the shirt after a 15% discount:

  1. The original price of the shirt is $25.
  2. The discount amount is 15% of $25.

We can find the discount amount by multiplying $25 by 15% (or 0.15): Discount=25×0.15=3.75\text{Discount} = 25 \times 0.15 = 3.75

  1. Subtract the discount from the original price: Final Price=253.75=21.25\text{Final Price} = 25 - 3.75 = 21.25

So, the price of the shirt after the discount is $21.25.

  2. How do you calculate the final price with tax included?
  3. How would the price change if an additional discount is applied after the 15%?
  4. If you buy 3 shirts, how much would the total cost be after the discount?
  5. What if the shirt was originally priced at $30 instead of $25?

Tip: To quickly calculate a discount, multiply the original price by the decimal equivalent of the discount percentage.
