Question

A couch was originally priced $500 dollars and on sale for 70% off what is the price for after the discount

Answer 1

Answer:$150.00

Explanation:

If you think about a item going down by 70%, it means that you are paying only 30% of the total price.

100%-70%=30%

So 30% of $500 is what you are paying.

30%=30/100=0.3

So you multiply 0.3x500

Which is equal to 150
