Question

A violin you want to buy costs you $4,254 at full retail price. However, it goes on sale for 65 percent off. How much do you end up saving if you buy the violin while it is on sale?

Answer 1

$4254 -----> 100%

x -------------> 65%

$\begin{gathered} x\times100=4254\times65 \\ 100x=276510 \\ \frac{100x}{100}=\frac{276510}{100} \\ x=2765.1 \end{gathered}$

then the price on sale is

$4254-2765.1=1488.9$

answer: $1,488.9
