Question

A television set that has an original price of $325.50 is on sale for 30% off. What is the selling price of the television?

Answer 1

-------------------------------------------------------
Original Price
-------------------------------------------------------
Original Price = $325.50

-------------------------------------------------------
Discount
-------------------------------------------------------
Discount = 30% 
Discount = 0.3 x 325.5 = $97.65

-------------------------------------------------------
Selling Price
-------------------------------------------------------
Selling Price = $325.50 - $97.65
Selling Price = $227.85

-------------------------------------------------------
Answer: $227.85
-------------------------------------------------------

Answer 2

Since 30%= $\frac{30}{100}$

Therefore, 30% of 325.50 = 30/100 × 325.50= .3 × 325.50= $97.65.

This television would then be selling for $\boxed{97.65}$.

Therefore, by knowing this, we would then have to subtract from 97.65 to the amount of the full price.

This would then result in (227.85)
