Answer key · Discounts and sale prices
1. 4
Saving: 50% of $8 = 4.
New price: $8 − $4 = 4.
2. 5
Saving: 50% of $10 = 5.
New price: $10 − $5 = 5.
3. 3
Saving: 50% of $6 = 3.
New price: $6 − $3 = 3.
4. 18
Saving: 25% of $24 = 6.
New price: $24 − $6 = 18.
5. 27
Saving: 10% of $30 = 3.
New price: $30 − $3 = 27.
