Question

a store is going out of business everything is marked down 40% how much do you pay for an item that cost $150

Answer 1

Multiply the price of the item by the percentage off, then subtract it from the price of the item.

x= sale price

x= $150 - ($150 * 40%)
x= 150 - (150 * 0.40)
x= 150 - 60
x= $90 sale price

CHECK:
=150*60%
=$90
You can also find the sale price this way. Multiply the original price by 100-sale percent).

ANSWER: The sale price is $90.
