Answer 1

Answer: $389.35

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply $599 by .65, to get the 35% off price.

There is also another way you can do this kind of problem. You multiply $599 by .35, then subtract that number from 599. I prefer the first method because it is faster.

Answer 2

Your take 599 divided by 35% and you get $389.35
