Question

A store advertises 15% off an item that regularly sells for $300

what is the price of the item?

Answer 1

For this problem, we're finding the percent of 300. To do that we:

1. Multiply 300 by 15.

300 x 15 = 4500

2. Divide 4500 by 100. (% = 100)

4500 / 100 = 45

Therefore, the unit price is 45. But we're not done. We need to subtract 45 by 300.

300 - 45 = 255

Now, our answer is 255 and the unit price is 45.

Let me know of any questions!

Answer 2

The item would sell for $255 if it had a 15 percent discount
