Answer 1

To calculate the sale price of the gaming station, multiply the original price of $489 by the discount percentage of 5% (0.05) to get the discount amount of $24.45. Then subtract the discount from the original price to get the Black Friday sale price of $464.55 before taxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the sale price of a gaming station on Black Friday with a 5% discount off the original price of $489, we first need to determine the discount amount. To do this, we convert 5% to a decimal (0.05) and multiply it by the original price:

Discount = Original Price × Discount Percentage
Discount = $489 × 0.05
Discount = $24.45

Now, subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price:

Sale Price = Original Price - Discount
Sale Price = $489 - $24.45
Sale Price = $464.55

Thus, the sale price of the gaming station on Black Friday, before taxes, is $464.55.

Answer 2

To find the sale price of the gaming station on Black Friday, you calculate 5% of the original price and subtract it from the original price, yielding a sale price of $464.55 before taxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the sale price of a gaming station originally costing $489 during a Black Friday sale with a 5% discount.

To calculate the discount amount, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100: 5% = 0.05. Then multiply the original price by this decimal: $489 × 0.05 = $24.45.

Next, subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the sale price: $489 - $24.45 = $464.55.

Therefore, the sale price of the gaming station on Black Friday before taxes is $464.55.
