Question

Mary buys a laptop that originally cost $1,340.00. It is on sale for 15% off. What is the final price?

Answer 1

Answer: $\ 1139$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The original cost of the laptop is $\ 1340$

A sale of 15% is applicable on it

The buyer has to pay 15% less

So, the effective price of the laptop is

$\Rightarrow 1340-15\%\times 1340\\\Rightarrow 1340(1-0.15)\\\Rightarrow 1340\times 0.85\\\Rightarrow \ 1139$

So, the final price of the laptop is $\ 1139$.
