Question

How much would a bicycle cost if it were marked down 15% from its original price of $289

Answer 1

$245.65

Explanation:

1. Determine how much is being spent.

- You are paying for only 85% of the bike since it is discounted by 15%.

2. Multiply 0.85 and 289.

- If you are only paying for 85% of the bike, that is what needs to be found.

Answer 2

$260.65

Explanation:

189/100=1.89

1.89x15=28.35

289-28.35=260.65
