Question

There was an iPhone with a price of $1,999 at Best Buy. It was 40% off. What was the price of the phone without tax?

A) $799.60
B) $1,199.40
C) $2,799.60
D) $1,999.00

Answer 1

The price of the phone without tax is $1,199.40

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price of the phone without tax, we need to first calculate the discount amount. The discount is 40% of the original price, which is $1,999.

Discount amount = 40% of $1,999 = $799.60.

So, the price of the phone without tax is the original price minus the discount amount: $1,999 - $799.60 = $1,199.40.
