Chapter 7.6, Problem 10E

To determine

To find: The selling price.

Answer to Problem 10E

The amount of the selling price is $\$27.75$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The original price- $\$37$ and the discount price- $25\%$ .

Calculation:

The original price is $\$37$ and the discount percent is $25\%$ .

Let, the selling price = $x$ .

The discount amount should be subtracted from the original price.

The equation to find the sell price is,

Sell price = Original price $-$ Discount amount $\mathrm{......}(1)$

Where the discount amount = Original price $\times$ Discount percent

  $\begin{array}{l}=\$37\times 25\%\\ =\$37\times \frac{25}{100}\\ =\$37\times 0.25\\ =\$9.25\end{array}$

Let’s find the selling price with the help of equation $(1)$ ,

  $\begin{array}{l}x=\$37-\$9.25\\ x=\$27.75\end{array}$

Hence, the selling price is $\$27.75$ .
