A part costs $48. After applying a 25% discount, what is the sale price?

To find the sale price of the part after a 25% discount, first, you need to calculate the amount of the discount. The discount is determined by taking 25% of the original price of $48. 1. Calculate the discount amount: \[ \text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Percentage} = 48 \times 0.25 = 12 \] 2. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 48 - 12 = 36 \] Thus, the sale price after applying the 25% discount is $36. This confirms that the answer is correct.
