Question

The original price of a skateboard, not including tax, was $96. Charlie bought the skateboard on sale, and he saved 30% off of the original price.

What was the sale price of the skateboard?

Answer 1

The sale price was $67.20

Explanation:

The sale price is 30% less than the original price. Symbolically,

Sale price: (100% less 30%) of $96, or

(1.00 - 0.30)($96), or 0.70($96) = $67.20

The sale price was $67.20
