Question

A store is having a sale where everything is discounted 30%. Find the discount and the salesprice if a customer buys an item that normally sells for $365.First blank: What is the discount?Second Blank: What is the new total?

Answer 1

We know that the store discounts 30% of the original price for an item, then, to calculate the discount we just have to multiply the original sell price by the discount percent and divide it by 100, like this:

`\text{discount}=365*(30)/(100)=365*0.3=109.5`

Then, the discount is $109.5.

The new total would be the difference between the original price of the item and the discount, like this:

New price= $365-$109.5=$255.5
