Okay so in any questions like these you take your percentage and turn it into a fraction over 100
In this question it'll be 24/100
Now that you have that percentage times it by your original price of the machine
24/100 x 970
which will make your discount amount 232.8
Now minus the discount amount from your original price to get your final answer
A) $ 232.8
B) $ 737.2
Hope that helps with any other similar questions too X3
