Question

A gas stove that normally sells for $749 is on sale at a 30% discount. What is the sale price of the gas stove?

A
$224.70
B
$524.30
C
$719

Answer 1

b. 524.30

Step-by-step explanation:

a good method to finding percentages of numbers is to multiply both numbers which here would be 749 and 30 together then divide by 100 edit: to finish the answer you need to subtract the product of the two numbers which is 224.7 by the price beforehand to receive the total amount of 524.30

Answer 2

Answer: $524.30 (choice B)

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

If you save 30%, then you pay the remaining 70% which converts to the decimal form 0.70

70% of $749 = 0.70*749 = 524.30

----------

Or another way to look at it is to calculate how much you save

30% of 749 = 0.30*749 = 224.70

You save $224.70 and the final price is 749 - 224.70 = 524.30
