Question

this weekend the hardware store is having a blowout sale, where everything is discounted 40%. A weed eater originially sells for $145. How much will the weed eater cost during the blowout sale?

Answer 1

Answer:

$87

Step-by-step explanation:

to find discounted price, you multiply the original price by the decimal equivalent of the discount. so,

$145 \times .40 = 58$

so that's 40% of 145 but now you gotta take the 40% off the original price so,

$145 - 58 = 87$
