Question

A computer that originally cost $929 was returned to the electronics store. Because the box was opened, the store put it on the clearance rack for 35% off. What is the price of the computer?

Answer 1

$603.85

Explanation:

METHOD ONE:

to quickly shorten your way of finding the answer, find your discount number first.

it says 35% is the actual discount number.

100% - 35% = 65%

multiply:

929 x 0.65= $603.85

METHOD TWO:

do it the regular way.

929 x 0.35 = 325.15

929 - 325.15 = $603.85
