Question

Andre wants to buy a backpack. The normal price of the backpack is $40. He notices that a store that sells the backpack is having a 30% off sale. What is the sale price of the backpack?

Answer 1

Answer:

28$

Step-by-step explanation:

The normal price of backpack is: 40$

As mentioned in the question, store is offering 30% off sale.

To calculate 30% of the original price (that is 40$), we do

Off price = (Off price percentage)/100 * normal price

=> $\frac{30}{100} * 40$

=> 12

The sale price of backpack would be: Normal price - Off price

=> 40 -12

=> 28
