Question

The store manager put 7 belts in sale. The belts were originally $16. The manager marked down the price of the belts by 40% how much money did the store receive for selling all 7 belts

Answer 1

Original price: $16

Discount: 40%

First, multiply the original price by the percentage discount in decimal form (divided by 100)

16 x 40/100 = 16 x 0.4 = $6.4 ( discount amount)

Subtract the discount amount to the original price

16-6.4 = $9.6 new price

multiply by 7 :

9.6 x 7 = $67.2
