Answer 2

Answer:

So Price after discount would be 17.5 on February 1st

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Original Cost  =57.75

Off Price = 70%

To Find:

Price after discount = ?

Solution:

We have to find the price after discount which is given by the formula

Price after Discount = Original Cost - Discount Price

We have to find the value of discount price

Discount Price = off Price * Original Cost

Putting in the values

Discount Price = 70 % * 57.75

it becomes

Discount Price $=\frac{70*57.75}{100}$

It becomes

                         $=\frac{4025}{100}$

                                = 40.25

Now

Price after Discount = Original Cost - Discount Price

Putting in the values

it becomes

Price after Discount = 57.75-40.25

                                   = 17.5

So Price after discount would be 17.5 on February 1st
