A store is offering a discount on a jacket that originally costs $80. The store is providing a discount of 25%. How much will the jacket cost after applying the discount?
To find the final price after the discount, first calculate how much the discount is. The discount amount can be calculated with the formula:
$$ ext{Discount Amount} = ext{Original Price} imes rac{ ext{Discount Percent}}{100} $$
Once you have the discount amount, subtract it from the original price to find the final price:
$$ ext{Final Price} = ext{Original Price} - ext{Discount Amount} $$
