if an item is $16.50 and the sign says it is 25% off. what is the new price?

thanks a lot!
You're welcome.
To find the new price of an item that is discounted by a certain percentage, you can follow these steps:
1. Determine the discount amount:
- Multiply the original price by the discount percentage (in decimal form). In this case, 25% is 0.25:
Discount = $16.50 * 0.25 = $4.125
2. Calculate the new price:
- Subtract the discount amount from the original price:
New Price = $16.50 - $4.125 = $12.375
3. Round the new price to the desired precision. In this case, let's round it to two decimal places:
- Rounded New Price = $12.38
Therefore, the new price of the item after a 25% discount would be $12.38.
