Answer 1

Given:

Original price = 1,099.99

Discount = 15%

To Find:

Sale Price

Solution:

Equate Original Price:

Original Price = 100%

Original Price = 1,099.99

100% = 1,099.99

Find 1%:

100% = 1,099.99

1% = 1099.99 ÷ 100

1% = 10.9999

Find discount:

Discount = 15%

1% = 10.9999

15% = 10.9999 x 15 = 164.99

Find Sale Price:

Sale Price = Original Price - Discount

Sale Price = 1,099.99 - 164.99

Sale Price = 935

Answer: The Sale Price is 935.
