Question

An item that is normally sells for $130 is marked down 30%. What is the sale price

Answer 1

The answer is $100 sales price because all you do is subtract the discount from the price of the original item

Answer 2

Answer: $91

Explanation: to know what is the sale price, we need to calculate the 30% of $130 and then substract it from that initial price:

To calculate the 30% of 130 we multiply 130 by 30 and divided by 100:

discount=30*30/100

discount=$39

Now we calculate the sell price:

sell price= initial price-discount

sell price=$130-$39

sell price=$91
