Question

Carol Wynne bought a silver tray that originally cost $173 and was advertised at 30% off. What was the sale price of the tray?

Answer 1

`\text{ \$121.10}`

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the sale price of the tray.

The original price of the tray is $173 but it was sold at 30% off.

This means that the sale price is the original price minus 30% of the original price.

That is:

`\begin{gathered} SP=173-((30)/(100)\cdot173) \\ SP=173-51.90 \\ SP=\text{ \$121.10} \end{gathered}`

That is the sales price.
