Question

Answer 1

Answer:  The required discounted price is $4.2 and the sale price is $7.8.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that in a candy store,  a $12.00 jar of candy is labeled , " 35% off ".

We are to find the discount price and the sale price of the jar of candy.

The discount price is equal to 35% of the labeled price and the sale price is equal to the difference of the labeled price and discounted price.

Therefore, the labeled price is given by

$P_d=35\%\times12=\dfrac{35}{100}\times12=4.2$

and the sale price is given by

$P_s=12-P_d=12-4.2=7.8.$

Thus, the required discounted price is $4.2 and the sale price is $7.8.

Answer 2

Answer:

$7.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Tjar originally costs $12.00. It is marked 35% off. This means of the original price, you pay 65% of it since 100%-35%=65%.

To find the sale price, multiply the original price by 65%. In order to do that you must convert the percent to a decimal first.

65% becomes 0.65

We multiply 12(0.65)=7.8.

The sale price is $7.80
