Question

How much will you save if you buy an item listed at $575.50 at a 30 percent discount

Answer 1

Answer:$172.65

Explanation:

$575.50•30%=575.5•.3

575.5•.3=172.65

Answer 2

For this case, we make a rule of three:

575.50 ------------> 100%

x ---------------------> 30%

Where "x" is the variable that represents 30% of 575.50

`x = \frac {30 * 575.50} {100}\\x = 172.65`

Thus, the discount item has a value of:

`575.50-172.65 = 402.85`

The value is $ 402.85

Answer:

You save $ 172.65
