the sale price of $315 how much money did you save off the original price of the guitar

Answer 1

You saved $135 off of the original price of the guitar

Explanation:

The original price of the guitar is $450. If we subtract 30% of the original price, we will essentially be solving 450 - 135 which gives us $315. Since we know that 30% was the amount taken off, 30% of the original price is how much you saved. So, you saved $135 off of the original price of the guitar.
