Answer 1

Explanation

We are given the following:

• The regular price of a tablet is $185.

,

• The regular price of a camcorder is $140.

,

• They are both on sale for 30% off.

We are required to calculate the sale price of the tablet and the camcorder.

We can achieve this as follows:

`\begin{gathered} Since\text{ }there\text{ }is\text{ }30\%\text{ }discount,the\text{ }sale\text{ }price\text{ }is\text{ }(100\%-30\%)\text{ }of\text{ }the\text{ }regular\text{ }price \\ Sale\text{ }price\text{ }of\text{ }tablet=70\%\text{ }of\text{ }185=(70)/(100)*185=\text{ \$}129.5 \\ \\ Sale\text{ }price\text{ }of\text{ }camcorder=70\%\text{ }of\text{ }140=(70)/(100)*140=\text{ \$}98 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is:

`\begin{gathered} Sale\text{ }price\text{ }of\text{ }tablet=\text{ \$}129.5 \\ Sale\text{ }price\text{ }of\text{ }camcorder=\text{ \$}98 \end{gathered}`
