Question

The regular price of a cellphone is $150. During a weekend sale, all cellphones are 35% off. How much will Colin save if he buys the cellphone during the sale?

Answer 1

$52.50

Explanation:

To find out how much Colin will save during the sale, we can calculate the discount he gets.

In order to calculate the discount, we can multiply the discount percentage by regular price.

Discount = Discount Percentage × Regular Price

Discount = 35% × $150

First, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:

Discount = 0.35 × $150

Now, calculate the discount:

Discount = $52.50

Colin will save $52.50 if he buys the cellphone during the sale.
