Question

A. $455
B. $455.50
C. $455.80
D. $455.90

Answer 1

The new iPad with a 30% discount will cost $455 after calculating the discount amount of $195 from the list price of $650.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked about the sale price of an iPad after a 30% discount off the list price. To calculate the discounted price, multiply the list price by the percentage of the discount in decimal form.

To convert the 30% discount into a decimal, divide by 100: 30 ÷ 100 = 0.30.

The discount amount can be found by multiplying the list price by the decimal form of the discount: $650 × 0.30 = $195.

Subtract the discount amount from the list price to find the final cost: $650 - $195 = $455.

Hence, with the 30% discount, the new iPad will cost $455, which corresponds to option (A).
