Question

A store advertises 15% off an item that regularly sells for $300.

Answer 1

Answer:

The sale price of the item is  $ 255

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the amount of discount ( d ) offered by the store, we calculate  

15 %  of the sale price. Thus:

d =  300  ×  15 ÷ 100

d  =  3 00  ×  15  ÷ 1 00  (take the 2 zeros out on both the hundred and 3 hundred)

d  =  3  ×  15

d  =  45

If the amount of discount is known, the sale price ( s ) of the item will be the regular price minus the discount. Hence:

s  =  300  −  45

s  =  255

Hope this helps you! If not sorry!
