Explanation
We are given the following:
• The regular price of a tablet is $185.
,
• The regular price of a camcorder is $140.
,
• They are both on sale for 30% off.
We are required to calculate the sale price of the tablet and the camcorder.
We can achieve this as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} Since\text{ }there\text{ }is\text{ }30\%\text{ }discount,the\text{ }sale\text{ }price\text{ }is\text{ }(100\%-30\%)\text{ }of\text{ }the\text{ }regular\text{ }price \\ Sale\text{ }price\text{ }of\text{ }tablet=70\%\text{ }of\text{ }185=\frac{70}{100}\times185=\text{ \$}129.5 \\ \\ Sale\text{ }price\text{ }of\text{ }camcorder=70\%\text{ }of\text{ }140=\frac{70}{100}\times140=\text{ \$}98 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the answer is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} Sale\text{ }price\text{ }of\text{ }tablet=\text{ \$}129.5 \\ Sale\text{ }price\text{ }of\text{ }camcorder=\text{ \$}98 \end{gathered}[/tex]
