Question

Appliances at Discount City Store are on sale for 55% off of the original price. If the original price of a washing machine is $500, what does it cost after being reduced by 55% (before tax)?

Answer 1

it will cost $255.

Explanation:

225.

a product that normally costs $500 with a 55 percent discount will cost you $225.00, and you saved $275.00. You can also calculate how much you save by simply moving the period in 55.00 percent two spaces to the left, and then multiply the result by $500 as follows: $500 x . 55 = $275.00 savings.
