Question

What is the selling price of a $12,543 boat if a $758 discount is given?

Answer 1

Given:
Selling Price: 12,543
Discount: 758

We simply deduct the discount from the original price to get the discounted selling price.

12,543 - 758 = 11,785

The new selling price of the boat is $11,785.

Discount of $758 is 6% of the Original selling price.
758 / 12,543 = 0.06
0.06 x 100% = 6%
