Find the recliner....

Question

Find the sale price on a leather recliner with a retail price of $795 if the recliner is 15% off.

Answer 1

Hi Alexandra,

 

If the retail price is $795 and the discount is 15% we can determine the dollar amount of the discount,

 

795 x .15 = 119.25

where .15 is the 15% off expressed as a decimal.

 

Now the final sale price is the retail price less the discount

795 - 119.25 = 675.75
