Answer 1

The discount amount of exercise machine is $ 102

The sales price of machine is $ 748

Solution:

Given that,

Original price of machine is $ 850

Discount rate = 12 %

To find: discount amount and sales price of machine

Find the discount amount:

Given that discount rate is 12 % , which means 12 % of original price of machine

Discount amount = 12 % of original price of machine

Discount amount = 12 % of 850

$Discount\ Amount = 12 \% \times 850\\\\Discount\ Amount = \frac{12}{100} \times 850\\\\Discount\ Amount = 0.12 \times 850 = 102$

Thus the discount amount is $ 102

Find the sales price of machine

Sales price = Original price - Discount amount

$Sales\ Price = 850 - 102\\\\Sales\ Price = 748$

Thus the sales price of machine is $ 748
