Question

In a vegetable market, all cantaloupes are on sale for 70% off the original price. If a single cantaloupe has an original price of $2.60, what is the sale price?

Answer 1

$0.78

Explanation:

Discount = Original Price x Discount %/100

Discount = 2.6 × 70/100

Discount = 2.6 x 0.7

You save = $1.82

Final Price = Original Price - Discount

Final Price = 2.6 - 1.82

Final Price = $0.78
