Question

Jim wants to buy an electric saw marked $98.00. If the salesperson offers him a discount of 15%, how much will he have to pay for the saw?

Answer 1

$83.30

Explanation:

Find how much he will have to pay by multiplying the price by 0.85, since this will calculate what 85% of the price is (with the 15% discount):

98(0.85)

= 83.3

So, he will have to pay $83.30 for the saw
