Question

A store is offering a 30% discount on all jeans. If the regular price of a pair of jeans is $49.99, what is the sale price of the jeans?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sales price of jeans is $35

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

percentage of discount= 30%

Regular price of jeans= $49.99

Required:

the price of the jeans after the discount is deducted

Step two;

let us solve for the amount of the 30% discount

=30/100*49.99

=0.3*49.99

=14.997

=$15 approx.

Hence the deduction in discount is $15

therefore the sale price after the discount is

=49.99-15

=$35
