Sale price:$

Answer 1

Sales price: $1,575 Discount: $175

Explanation:

To find the sales price, you either multiply the percent(indecimals, so 10% would be .1) by the discount price, but be careful to subtract original by new.

To get the anwser right away, multiply the price you have to pay, 90%, so .9 by 1,750. You get $1,575.

To get the discount, subtract original by new, $1750-$1575=$175

Hope this helps ^^
