the local market is selling apples by the pound. if a pound of apples is originally $5 and they are discounted at 1/4 off the original price what is the selling price of the apples?

There are several ways of solving this problem, and also any problem similar to this. We can start calculating what the 1/4 of 5 is.

To calculate that, we only need to multiply 5 by the fraction:

= = 1.25

And now, we know that from the 5 dollars, 1.25 is discounted, so we now substract 1.25 dollars to the ffive it costed initially.:

5 - 1.25 = 3.75 dollars
