Question

A corner hutch with a regular price of $299 is on sale for 30% off the regular price. Find the sale price

Answer 1

In this case, the sale price of the product will be %70 of the regular price since

$100\text{\% - 30\% = 70\% }$

Then, using the rule of three you have

$\begin{gathered} \text{ \ 299 }\rightarrow\text{ \%100} \\ x\rightarrow\text{ \%70} \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{\text{ \ 299}\cdot\text{ \%70}}{\text{ \%100}} \\ x=\text{ \ }209.3 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the sale price of the corner hutch is $209.3.
