Question

The store offered a 15% discount on apple watches. If an Apple Watch sold for $475. How much is the new sale price?

Answer 1

$403.75

Explanation:

you get a 15% discount, so you are not paying 100% of the product.

100-15=85

you are paying for 85% of the product or 0.85

multiply 0.85 by the original price

0.85(475)

403.75

the sale price is $403.75

Answer 2

The new sale price of an Apple Watch after a 15% discount is $403.75.

To find out, you can multiply the original price of $475 by 0.15 to find out how much the discount is:

$475 x 0.15 = $71.25

Then subtract this amount from the original price to find the new sale price:

$475 - $71.25 = $403.75
