Question

two electronics stores are having a sale on the same speakers. The first store has a regular price of $450 but is offering a 30% discount. The second store has a regular price of $390 but is offering a 20% discount. a. What is the sale price at the first store? b. What is the sale price at the second store?

Answer 1

(a) the first store

regular price=$450

discount percentage=30%

amount of money that reduced= $450*(30/100)=$135

sale price=$450-$135=$315

Ans: sale price after discount is $315

(b) the second store

regular price=$390

discount percentage=20%

amount of money that reduced=$390*(20/100)=$78

sale price=$390-$78=$312

Ans: sale price after discount is $312

Explanation:

base of percentage is 100 so we divided the discount percentage with 100 and multiply with original price to find out how much money is reduced from original price by discount. And subtract the discount price from the original price to get the sale price.
