Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step.

  1. The advertisement states that the discount is 20% off and the savings amount to $249.99.
  2. To find the original price of the cruise, we need to determine what 20% of the original price is, which equals $249.99.
  3. Let the original price be P P .
  4. According to the problem, 20% of P P is $249.99. This can be written as: 0.20×P=249.99 0.20 \times P = 249.99
  5. To find P P , divide both sides of the equation by 0.20: P=249.990.20 P = \frac{249.99}{0.20}
  6. Calculate the division: P=1249.95 P = 1249.95
  7. The original price of the cruise is $1249.95.
  8. The sale price is the original price minus the discount. Since the discount is $249.99, subtract this from the original price: Sale Price=1249.95249.99 \text{Sale Price} = 1249.95 - 249.99
  9. Perform the subtraction: Sale Price=999.96 \text{Sale Price} = 999.96

Therefore, the sale price of the cruise is $999.96.
