To solve this problem, we need to calculate the
Discount Amount (Savings) and the
New Price for each item.
Here is the step-by-step logic:
1.
Find the Savings: Multiply the original
Price by the
Discount percentage.
* *Tip:* To do this easily, change the percentage to a decimal (e.g., $10\% = 0.10$, $25\% = 0.25$) and multiply.
2.
Find the New Price: Subtract the
Savings from the original
Price.
Let's calculate each row:
1. Flowers
*
Price: $\$10.00$
*
Discount: $10\%$
*
Savings: $\$10.00 \times 0.10 = \$1.00$
*
New Price: $\$10.00 - \$1.00 = \$9.00$
2. Book
*
Price: $\$16.00$
*
Discount: $25\%$
*
Savings: $\$16.00 \times 0.25 = \$4.00$
*
New Price: $\$16.00 - \$4.00 = \$12.00$
3. Box of Chocolates
*
Price: $\$12.00$
*
Discount: $25\%$
*
Savings: $\$12.00 \times 0.25 = \$3.00$
*
New Price: $\$12.00 - \$3.00 = \$9.00$
4. Candle
*
Price: $\$8.50$
*
Discount: $50\%$
*
Savings: $\$8.50 \times 0.50 = \$4.25$ (Half of $8.50$)
*
New Price: $\$8.50 - \$4.25 = \$4.25$
Final Answer:
Flowers: New Price:
$9.00, Savings:
$1.00
Book: New Price:
$12.00, Savings:
$4.00
Box of Chocolates: New Price:
$9.00, Savings:
$3.00
Candle: New Price:
