Question

A store is having a sale where everything is discounted 30% find the discount and the sales price of a customer buys an item that normally sells for $365. How do I solve this?!

Answer 1

Discount = 365*30/100 = $109.5

sales price = 365*70/100 = $255.5

Did you understand?

Answer 2

the discount is $109.5,the sales price after discount is $255.5

Explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

to solve this it is possible to use a simple rule of three

Step 1

if everything is discounted 30% , you have to pay 70% of the real price

if

$365 ⇒100%

$x? ⇒ 30%

`do\ the\ relation\\(365)/(100)=(x)/(30)\\solve\ for\ x\\\\x=(365*30)/(100)\\ x=109.5\\`

the discounted value is 109.5%

Hence the sales price is=orignal price - discounted value

sales price=$365- $109.5

sales price=$255.5

I hope it helps, Have a great day
