Question

Find the total cost of buying a product that cost $12 if it is 25% off. DO NOT PUT A $. Only numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer will be 9 dollars

Answer 2

Answer:   9

Explanation:

The discount of 25% off means you save 0.25*12 = 3 dollars, meaning the final cost is 12-3 = 9 dollars.

Or you can think of it like this: if you save 25%, then you still pay the remaining 75%. So 0.75*12 = 9 dollars is the total cost.
