Question

A sign at the fish market says, "50% off, today only: half-pound packages for just $3 per package." What is the regular price for a full pound of fish, in dollars?

Accepted Answer

50% off the price of half a pound of fish is 3, so 100%, the regular price, of a half pound of fish is 6. If half a pound of fish costs 6, then a whole pound of fish is 12$ dollars.
