Question

What is the final sale price of a $140 dollar jacket after a 35% discount

Answer 1

Answer:

$91

Step-by-step explanation:

Replacing the given values in formula (a) we have:

Amount Saved = Original Price x Discount in Percent / 100. So,

Amount Saved = 140 x 35 / 100

Amount Saved = 4900 / 100

Amount Saved = $49 (answer).

In other words, a 35% discount for a item with original price of $140 is equal to $49

Answer 2

Answer:

$91

Step-by-step explanation:

• To answer this, we can first calculate how much was discounted by calculating the value of 35% of $140:

⇒ 35% of $140

⇒ $\frac{35}{100} \times \ \space\ 140$

⇒ $49

• Now that we we know that $49 was discounted from the original price, we can find the final sale price simply by subtracting $49 from the original price:

final sale price = $140 - $49

                        = $91
