Advd player is on sale at a 25% discount. find the sale price of the dvd player if it normally sells for $299.

1.take $299 divide it by 100
-since $299 is the full (100%) of price BEFORE the discount -This is 1% of the price since we divided the original price by 100- to make sure you’re right you can multiply your answer (the “1%” number) by 100 and should end up with your original price $299).
2.Then you subtract 25 (since that is the percent of the discount) from 100. This is the percentage of the price you’re going to be paying after the discount.
3a.After that just multiply the 1% number by 75. This is the price after the 25% discount is subtracted.
3b.An alternative way to figure the problem is to also multiply the 1% number by 25 ( since that’s how much you’re discount is worth) and you’ll get the price of how much the 25% discount is worth . Now you’d just subtract the 25% number from $299 and you should still get the same answer you got on 3b.
1. 299/100 = 1%
2. 100-25= Payment price after discount.
3a. 1% * 75 = answer
3b. 1%* 25= worth of discount (wod) original price - wod =answer
