Question

Karen's furniture store advertised a table at 23% discount. The original selling price was $123, and the sale price was $100. What is the sales price?

Answer 1

Using the original selling price calculate the real sales price that it should be if there is a discount of 23%

$\begin{gathered} SalesPrice=OrigalPrice\cdot(1-0.23) \\ SalesPrice=123\cdot(0.77) \\ SalesPrice=94.71 \end{gathered}$

The sales price is higher than it should be.
