Answer:
207.19 is the cost on sale
Step-by-step explanation:
If there is a discount of 30%, we still have to pay 100-30 = 70%
295.99 * 70%
295.99 * .70
207.193
Rounding to the nearest cent
207.19 is the cost on sale
This is a sum and difference problem, with the equations
R-N=35
R+N=635
The solution of which is
R=(635+35)/2=335
N=(635-35)/2=300
In general, the sum and difference problem can be solved (most of the time mentally) using
Larger number = (sum + difference)/2
Smaller number = (sum - difference)/2
30% converted to a decimal is 0.30
