Question

a coat is marked down 40% off the regular price of the original price was 115.00 what is the price of the Coat before sales tax

Answer 1

Given in the question:

a.) A coat is marked down 40% off.

b.) The original price was 115.00.

To be able to determine the price we will be using the equation below:

`\text{ Discounted Price = (Original Price) x (}\frac{\text{ 100 - \% Discount}}{100})`

We get,

`\text{ Discounted Price = (Original Price) x (}\frac{\text{ 100 - \% Discount}}{100})`
`\text{= (115.00) x (}\frac{\text{ 100 - 4}0}{100})`
`\text{ = 115.00 x 0}.60`
`\text{Discounted Price = }69.00`

Therefore, the price of the coat will be 69.00.
