Question

Raquela's coworker made price tags for several items that are to be marked down by 35%. match each regular price to the correct sale price.

Answer 1

To get the discounted price of each item you can use the rule of three. If a product is given a 35% discount on the regular price, then the sale price of the item will be 65% of the regular price because

`100\text{\% - 35\% = 65\%}`

Then you have,

First article

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \$4.19}\rightarrow100\text{\%} \\ \text{ x}\rightarrow65\text{\%} \\ x=\frac{65\text{\%}\ast\text{ \$4.19}}{100\text{\%}} \\ x=\text{ \$2.72} \end{gathered}`

So, the price of the first item with a 35% discount is $ 2.72.

Second article

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \$3.09}\rightarrow100\text{\%} \\ \text{ x}\rightarrow65\text{\%} \\ x=\frac{65\text{\%}\ast\text{ \$3.09}}{100\text{\%}} \\ x=\text{ \$2.01} \end{gathered}`

So, the price of the second item with a 35% discount is $ 2.01.

Third article

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \$3.77}\rightarrow100\text{\%} \\ \text{ x}\rightarrow65\text{\%} \\ x=\frac{65\text{\%}\ast\text{ \$3.77}}{100\text{\%}} \\ x=\text{ \$2}.45 \end{gathered}`

So, the price of the third item with a 35% discount is $ 2.45.

Fourth article

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \$3.29}\rightarrow100\text{\%} \\ \text{ x}\rightarrow65\text{\%} \\ x=\frac{65\text{\%}\ast\text{ \$3.29}}{100\text{\%}} \\ x=\text{ \$2}.14 \end{gathered}`

So, the price of the fourth item with a 35% discount is $ 2.14.
