Question

If the regular price is $900 and the discount rate is 30%, what is the sale price?

Answer 1

$630

Explanation:

First, multiply the original price by the decimal of the percentage:

900 x 0.30 = 270

Since this is a discount we subtract the original amount and the discount amount. If it we were calculating tax or a raised price, you would add. But were lowering the price so:

900 - 270 = 630

Therefore, it’s 630

Answer 2

The sale price is $630. 900/100 is 9( which is 1%) then multiply 9 and 30. Which gives you 270. Since it is a discount you subtract the 270 from the 900 which equals 630! Hope this helps!
