Answer 1

The sale price of the tent after a 40% discount off the regular price of $229.00 is $137.40.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked to find the sale price of a tent after a 40% discount off its regular price of $229.00. To calculate the sale price, we first determine how much money is saved in the form of the discount by finding 40% of the regular price. We then subtract this discount from the regular price to find the sale price.

First, find 40% of $229:

40% of $229 = 0.40 × $229 = $91.60

Now, subtract the discount from the regular price:

Sale Price = Regular Price - Discount

Sale Price = $229.00 - $91.60 = $137.40

Therefore, the sale price of the tent is $137.40.
