Question

Wallace received a 28 percent discount on an item priced at $275. What is the total price that he paid for it?

Answer 1

198
tttttttttttttttttttt

Answer 2

if he received a 28% discount, then he actually paid (100% - 28%) = 72%

72% of 275 = 0.72(275) = $ 198 <===

or this way...
275 - 0.28(275) = 275 - 77 = $ 198 <==
