Question

A corner hutch with a regular price of $299 is on sale for 30% off the regular price. Find the sale price

Answer 1

In this case, the sale price of the product will be %70 of the regular price since

`100\text{\% - 30\% = 70\% }`

Then, using the rule of three you have

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \$299 }\rightarrow\text{ \%100} \\ x\rightarrow\text{ \%70} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} x=\frac{\text{ \$299}\cdot\text{ \%70}}{\text{ \%100}} \\ x=\text{ \$}209.3 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the sale price of the corner hutch is $209.3.
