Question

A Playstation 5 sells for $500. Today only, it is on sale for 30% off. What is the sale price of the PS5?

a: $30.00

b: $150.00

c: $350.00

d: $470.00

Answer 1

Answer: c: $350.00

Explanation:

We will find what 30% off of $500 is. Since 30% is off, we will subtract this from 100% to find what percentage of the Playstation is being paid for.

100% - 30% = 70%

Next, we will find 70% of $500. 70% is equal to 0.7 and "of" means multiplication in mathematics.

0.7 * $500 = $350
