Question

Jack bought a motorbike the original price was $1800 but he got a discount of 15% what was the discounted price of the bike

Answer 1

$1530

Explanation:

Hi there!

What we know

• Original price was $1800
• There was a discount of 15%

If this motorbike was on sale for 15% off, then we know that its discounted price is 85% of the original price (100-15=85)

Then, to find the discounted price, we multiply 1800 by 85%:

1800 × 85%

Change 85% into a decimal

= 1800 × 0.85

= 1530

Therefore the discounted price of the motorbike was $1530.

I hope this helps!
