Question

alycia needs a new pair of glasses. the frames are on sale for 30% off. the orginal price of the frames is 229.00 what is the sale price of the frames before gst. gst is 5%

Answer 1

Sale price of frames before gst = $160.30

Explanation:

Since we want to know the sale price given the original price and the discount rate, we can use the formula S = O - (rO) to help us, where:

• S is the sale price,
• O is the original price,
• and r is the discount rate as a decimal.

Thus, we can solve for S by substituting 229 for O and 0.30 for D in the formula above:

S = 229 - (0.30 * 229)

S = 229 - 68.7

S = 160.3

Therefore, the sale price of the frames before gst is $160.30.
