Answer 1

$34.45

Explanation:

Given :

An item is regularly priced at $53.

It is now priced at a discount of 35% off the regular price.

To Find : Discounted Price

Solution : Since we are given that there is 35 % off on $53

So, first wee need to calculate 35% of $53:

→
`(35)/(100)`×
`53`

→
`(1855)/(100)`

→
`18.55`

Thus 35% of $53 = 18.55

So, $18.55 is off on $53

Thus, the discounted price = $53-$18.55 = $34.45

Hence $34.45 is the price now

Answer 2

$34.45

Explanation:

53×0.35= 18.55 which is how much the discount takes off

53-18.55= 34.45
