Question

The craft wholesaler, Living Arts, offers a 15 percent discount on all Christmas

decorations bought before August 1. If a local crafts shop placed an order on July
11 for $3,300 worth of decorations, what would the discount and final price be?

Answer 1

Discount amount: $495

The final price: $2,805

Step-by-step explanation:

The local crafts shop made their order before august 1, hence qualifies for the 15% discount.

The discount amount will be 15% of $3,300

=15/100 x $3,300

=0.15 x $3,300

=$495

The final price will be

cost price - discount amount

=$3,300 - $495

=$2,805
