Answer:

$161 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

30% of 230

In order to find the answer, we calculate the percent by multiplying the two by each other, and then dividing by 100.


(30*230)/(100) =30*230=6900/100=69

=69

Now that we know the percentage of the item, we now subtract that answer by the initial amount the item would have sold for.


230-69=161

The sale price is "$161 dollars."

Hope this helps.
