Question

A mountain bike originally priced at $968.00 is up for sale at a discount of 15%. What is the price of the mountain bike after the discount?

Answer 1

Discounted down to $822.8

Steps:

`(968)/(x) = (100)/(15)`

968 = 100%

thus divide 100 by 15

`(100)/(15) = 6.6666666666667`

now plug the solution into denominator of 968

`(968)/(6.6666666666667)  = 145.2`

now subtract 968 & 145.2 to get $822.8 as the discounted price.

Answer 2

Hey!

-----------------------------------------------

Steps:

Convert 15% to a decimal:

15% = 0.15

Multiply 968 and 0.15 to get the discount:

968 x 0.15 = $145.20

Subtract 968 and 145.20 to get discount price:

968 - 145.20 = $822.80

-----------------------------------------------

Answer:

The price of the mountain bike after the discount is $822.20!
