Question

Original price $69.80 with a 15% discount, what is the new price.

Answer 1

Answer:

$59.33

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the new price, we need to know what is 15% of 69.80, and then subtract the result from 69.80. To find the percent, we multiply the number by the percent using decimals for the percent. 15% is 0.15, so we multiply 69.80 * 0.15 = 10.47

Next, subtract 10.47 from 69.80.

69.80 - 10.47 = 59.33

The new price is 59.33.

Another method is that since 69.80 is 100 percent, then the new price will be 100% - 15% = 85%. Multiply the 85 percent by 69.80, and find your answer.

0.85 * 69.80 = 59.33

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

$59.33

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin, let's start with what we know

Item = 69.80

Discount = 15% or 0.15

So, let's put it into this formula

New Price = Item ( 1 - Discount)              Note: P is the final price

                 = 69.80 ( 1 - 0.15)

                 = 69.80 ( 0.85 )

                 = 59.33

The new price is $59.33.
