Answer 1

To calculate the sale price, we need to find out how much the TV is discounted by, which we can do by multiplying the original price by the percentage discount (expressed as a decimal).

35% of the original price can be expressed as 0.35.

so,

Discount = 540 omr * 0.35 = 189 omr

To find the sale price, we can subtract the discount from the original price:

Sale price = Original price - Discount

Sale price = 540 omr - 189 omr

So the sale price is 351 omr.
