Question

If an item is discounted 30% then what percent of the original price is the sale price? if the organal price of the item is $500 what is the dollar amount of the discount?how much is the sale price ?

Answer 1

a.) Discount = 30%

Percent of the original price on sale = 100% - 30% = 70%

b.) Original price = $500

Discount = 30%

Dollar amount of the discount = $500 x (30% / 100%) = $500 x 0.30 = $150

c.) The sale price = $500 - (Discount Amount) = $500 - $150 = $350
