Lesson One Hundred Thirty-three: Discount Sale

Here's another example of how to find the sale price: 


	REGULAR PRICE: $40.00
	PERCENT OFF: 20%

	1) regular price * percent off = discount amount
		$40.00 * 20% = $8.00

	2) regular price - discount amount = sale price
		$40.00 - $8.00 = $32.00
Sometimes you have do round off your answer: 

	REGULAR PRICE: $32.87
	PERCENT OFF: 25%

	1) regular price * percent off = discount amount
		$32.87 * 25% = $8.2175
		round to nearest penny: $8.22

	2) regular price - discount amount = sale price
		$32.87 - $8.22 = $24.65
