Question

a model Nasar race car lists 79.99 with a trade discount of 40% . What is the net price of the car?

Answer 1

Hello!

79.99 equals 100%, or in other words, 79.99 = 1.

To find the net price, you'll need to find the discount, multiplying the total by 40% (or 0.4):

$\mathrm{79.99\cdot0.4 \approxeq 31.99}$

Now, just subtract the initial price by the discount:

$\mathrm{79.99-31.99\approxeq 48}$

So, the net price of the car is approximately 48.00.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

48 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

Original price of the car is $79.99
40% trade discount

In order to find the answer, we must first find 40% of 79.99 by using the formula to calculate percentages. Then we just subtract that answer from the original price to have our new price of the car after the discount.

$\frac{p\times n}{100}$
$\frac{40\times79.99}{100} =40\times79.99=3199.6\div100=31.996$
$=31.99$

Now subtract the answer from the original price:
$79.99-31.99=48$
$=48$

The price of the car after a 40% discount is "48 dollars."

Hope this helps.
