Question

Samantha is buying a chromebook that costs $179.00. The chromebook is on sale for 35% off the original price. How much will the chromebook cost after the discount?

$179 - $62.25 = $116.75

$116.35

Explanation:

179 x 35/100

= 62.65

This is how much will be taken off of the original price. So we have to subtract that from 179.

179 - 62.65 = 116.35

The new price is $116.35
