Question

1
Molly bought a recliner on sale for 1/3
off. The original price was $1, 299.99. How much did she save?

What did Molly pay for the recliner?

Answer 1

We are given that Molly bought an object for 1/3 off. This means that she was discounted 1/3 of the original price. This means that the amount saved is:

$1299.99\times\frac{1}{3}=433.33$

She saved "$433.33".

To determine the amount she paid we must subtract the amount saved from the original price, like this:

$1299.99-433.33=866.66$

Therefore, she paid "$866.66".
