Question

A model Nasar race car lists 79.99 with a trade discount of 40% . What is the net price of the car?

Answer 1

Hello!

79.99 equals 100%, or in other words, 79.99 = 1.

To find the net price, you'll need to find the discount, multiplying the total by 40% (or 0.4):

$\mathrm{79.99\cdot0.4 \approxeq 31.99}$

Now, just subtract the initial price by the discount:

$\mathrm{79.99-31.99\approxeq 48}$

So, the net price of the car is approximately 48.00.

Hope this helps!
