Lea buys a sweater that is 25% off. The original cost of the seater is 50.00. How much money does Lea save? What is the new cost of the sweater after the discount?
The answer is as follows: $50 x 0.25 = $12.5 (This is how much Lea saves) $50 - $12.50 = $37.50 (Price after discount) Therefore, we can conclude that the amount taken off is $12.50 and the discounted price is $37.50.
