Lucas will sell his old TV at the price of $224.

Explanation:

step 1 :

The current market price = $640

step 2 :

He wants to sell = 65% off the current market price $640

step 3 :

selling price = 65% of 640 - Market price

= (65/100) 640 - 640

= (6.5
*64) - 640

= 416 - 640 = 224

∴ He sells it for $224
