If a t-shirt costs $15 and you have a coupon for $5 off, how much do you pay at the register?
$10
$15
$20
$5
Subtracting the coupon value from the t-shirt price gives $10. This basic subtraction problem demonstrates applying a fixed discount during shopping.
A pair of jeans is marked at $40 but is on sale for 25% off. What is the discount amount in dollars?
$5
$8
$10
$12
25% of $40 equals $10, so the discount amount is $10. This question requires understanding of percentages in a retail scenario.
If you buy a sweater for $30 and a hat for $20, what is the total cost?
$50
$40
$60
$30
Adding $30 and $20 results in a total of $50. This reinforces simple addition in everyday shopping calculations.
A store advertises 'Buy one, get one 50% off'. If one shirt costs $20, what is the total cost for purchasing two shirts?
$20
$30
$40
$50
The first shirt is full price at $20 and the second is half price at $10, totaling $30. This problem helps students understand promotional pricing.
If a store charges 10% sales tax on an item priced at $50, how much tax is added?
$5
$10
$15
$50
10% of $50 equals $5, which is the additional sales tax. This question uses a simple percentage calculation to determine tax.
A jacket originally priced at $80 is marked down by 30%. What is the sale price of the jacket?
$22
$56
$64
$80
A 30% discount on $80 equals a reduction of $24, making the sale price $56. This problem tests percentage discount calculations in retail.
A store offers a 20% discount on all items. If the price tag is $50, what amount is deducted from the price?
$5
$10
$15
$20
20% of $50 is $10, which is deducted from the price. This reinforces the ability to calculate discounts using percentages.
If an item purchased for $120 is returned with a refund of 15% of the purchase price, how much money is refunded?
$12
$18
$24
$15
15% of $120 amounts to $18, which is the refund received. The question tests the application of percentage calculations in return scenarios.
A sale offers an extra 10% discount on already reduced items. If a shirt's sale price is $40, what is the final price after the extra discount?
$36
$38
$40
$34
An extra 10% off $40 subtracts an additional $4, reducing the final price to $36. This question challenges students to apply sequential discounts.
A pair of shoes priced at $60 is subject to an 8% sales tax. What is the total cost including tax?
$64
$64.80
$65
$66
An 8% tax on $60 comes out to $4.80, making the total cost $64.80. The problem requires multiplication of percentages and addition.
During a clearance sale, a store increases the discount from 50% to 65% on a $100 item. What is the new sale price?
$35
$40
$45
$50
A 65% discount on a $100 item reduces the price by $65, so the new sale price is $35. This tests the understanding of increased discount percentages.
If an item is marked up by 25% from its wholesale cost of $80, what is the retail price?
$80
$90
$100
$110
A 25% markup on $80 adds $20 to the original cost, making the retail price $100. This question addresses percentage increases in a pricing scenario.
A customer buys 3 items priced at $12, $15, and $20. The store offers a flat discount of $5 if the total exceeds $40. What is the final amount paid?
$42
$45
$40
$47
The total of the three items is $47, and after a flat $5 discount the final amount is $42. This example integrates addition with a fixed discount.
If you want to buy a product costing $75 and you have saved 80% of that amount, how many more dollars do you need?
$10
$15
$20
$25
80% of $75 is $60, so you are short by $15 to meet the full price. This problem reinforces percentage calculations combined with subtraction.
A sale offer states 'Buy two, get one free'. If each item costs $25, what is the average price per item when you take home three items?
$25
$20
$16.67
$15
Since you pay for two items ($50) and receive three, the average price per item is approximately $16.67. This question demonstrates how promotional deals affect overall cost.
A store offers sequential discounts: first 20% off, then an additional 10% off on the reduced price. If the original price is $100, what is the final price?
$70
$72
$75
$80
The first discount reduces $100 by $20, leaving $80, and the second discount takes off $8, resulting in a final price of $72. The question tests sequential percentage discount application.
If a clothing store increases the price of a jacket from $50 to $65, what is the percentage increase?
25%
30%
35%
40%
The price increases by $15 on an original price of $50, which calculates to a 30% increase. This problem requires computing the percentage change using the difference over the original cost.
An item originally priced at $200 is offered at 30% off, then an additional 10% off the discounted price, and finally a $15 coupon is applied. What is the final price?
$111
$112
$113
$115
First, 30% off $200 gives a $60 discount, leaving $140; then 10% off $140 subtracts $14 to yield $126; finally, applying a $15 coupon results in a final price of $111. This question emphasizes multiple discount steps in one problem.
You are comparing two offers on a $40 shirt. Store A gives 25% off, and Store B gives a flat $8 discount. Which store offers a lower price and by how much?
Store A by $2
Store A by $4
Store B by $2
Store B by $4
Store A offers a 25% discount resulting in a $10 reduction (price becomes $30) while Store B's $8 discount leaves the price at $32, so Store A is $2 cheaper. This question involves comparing percentage-based and flat discounts.
A shopper has a budget of $150 for a coat, a scarf, and gloves. The coat costs $85, the scarf costs 20% of the coat's price, and the gloves cost $25. Does she stay within budget and how much does she have left?
Yes; she has $23 left
Yes; she has $0 left
No; she exceeds the budget by $23
No; she is short by $23
The scarf costs 20% of $85, or $17, so the total spending is $85 + $17 + $25 = $127, leaving $23 remaining from a $150 budget. This problem combines percentage calculations with budgeting and subtraction.
