Question

A laptop costs $550. 

You get a coupon in the mail for 30% off. 

If you use the coupon, what is the sale price for the laptop?

Answer 1

Original Price - Discount = Sale price

Since the discount is 30%, we would multiply 0.30(550) to get the amount of the discount.

0.30(550) = 165

550 - 165 = $385
