Question

An item that normally sells for $230 is marked down by 30%. What is the sale price?.

Answer 1

Answer:

$161 dollars

Explanation:

Given the following question:

30% of 230

In order to find the answer, we calculate the percent by multiplying the two by each other, and then dividing by 100.

$\frac{30\times230}{100} =30\times230=6900\div100=69$
$=69$

Now that we know the percentage of the item, we now subtract that answer by the initial amount the item would have sold for.

$230-69=161$

The sale price is "$161 dollars."

Hope this helps.
