Hi There!

Question #1:

A video store is selling previously owned DVDs for 40% off the regular price of $15. What is the sale price of the DVDs?

40% = 0.4

15 * 0.4 = $6 (Discount)

15 - 6 = $9 (Sale Price)

$9

Question #2:

Due to the increased rate of its rent, the Neat Novelties Store had to markup the cost of its helium balloons by 7%. The store’s original cost for a bunch of 8 primary-colored helium-filled balloons was $7.00. What was the selling price after markup?

7% = 0.07

7 * 0.07 = $0.49 (Increase)

7 + 0.49 = $7.49 (Price after Increase)

$7.49

Question #3:

Cecil Home Builders are offering 10% off the option of finishing a basement on all the new homes they are currently building in the Miller Falls Subdivision. The original cost for the finished basement option is $12,000. What is the cost to the buyer after the discount?

10% = 0.1

12,000 * 0.1 = $1,200 (Discount)

12,000 - 1,200 = $10,800 (Price after Discount)

$10,800

Hope This Helps :)
