Question

A TV goes on sale with a discount of 28%. The original price of the TV is $942. What is the sales price of the TV?

Answer 1

A percentage is equivalent to a fraction, a percentage is out of 100 therefore the fraction for this can be 28/100, as a decimal this would be .28. Therefore to solve this problem you would set up the problem as, 942 x .28= 263.76, you then take that number and subtract it from the original price of the tv, and you get the final price, of $678.24.

Answer 2

28% discount of the TV = $678.24

Explanation:

28% discount of the TV = actual price - 28% of the actual price.

Since we know the actual price to be $942

Actual price = $942

28% of the actual price = 28% * actual price.

= 28/100 x 942

= 26376/100

= 263.76.

28% discount of the TV = actual price - 28% of the actual price.

28% discount of the TV = $942 - $263.76

28% discount of the TV = $678.24
