A jacket originally costs \(\$80\). It is on sale for \(25\%\) off. What is the sale price?
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Twenty-five percent off describes the amount removed from the original eighty-dollar price, while the question asks for what remains. We’ll calculate the discount amount, subtract it from the original, and keep dollars attached throughout. Multiplying the original by the complementary percent provides a direct check on the sale price.
