Question

A mattress store is having a sale. All mattresses are 30% off. Nate wants to know the sale price of a mattress that is regularly $1,000.

How much is the discount? Enter the amount in the table.

Answer 1

$700

Explanation:

1. We see the original price is $1,000.

2. Change 30% to a decimal

3. 30/100=0.30

4. Multiply the original cost of the item(mattress) by the percentage.

5. 0.3×1,000=300

6. $300 is the amount discounted.

7. For final price with discount: Take its original price($1,000) and subtract the discount from the original price

8. $1,000-$300=$700
