Question

Several items in a store are on sale. Complete the table with the correct prices.

Original Price

Percent of Discount

Sale Price

$60 20% __?
$140 65% __?
__? 40% $54.60
__? 10% $10.80

Answer 1

1. $48

2.$49

3.$91

4.$12

Explanation:

For 1 and 2

To find the sale price, you find out how much is the percentage of the original price. Example :

(20/100)/60 = $12

So $12 is the discount

thus sales price will be $60-$12=$48

Same thing for no.2, find the amount of the percentage and subtract it from the original price

For 3 and 4

To find the original price

1. Subtract the percentage from 100%

2. Multiply the sales price by 100

3. Divide the ans from no.2 by ans from no.1

Example :

100%-40%=60%

$54.60×100=5460

$5460÷60%= $91 (original price)

Same thing for no.4

Hope this helps haha
