Answer 1

Teddy saved $
`59.85`

The new price of the tv is $
`339.15`

Explanation:

To find out how much the new price of the tv is you need to do as follows:

We know that it was 15% off meaning it keeps 85% of its value. Knowing this we do

`399*0.85`

This gives us

`339.15`

To find out how much he saves, we find the difference:

`399-339.15`

Teddy saves:

`59.85`
