Question

Pocahontas wants to buy a tennis racket that is 70% off. The original price is $156.33. What is amount of discount (nearest penny)?
What is the sale price (nearest penny) please show your work

Answer 1

1. You could plug this into the calculator as either 70% of 156.33 or 0.7 × 156.33, but either way you know the discount is going to be $109.43

2. We got the discount, so all you have to do is subtract it from the original. 156.33 - 109.43 = $46.90 which is the sale price! I hope this helps
