i need help with solving a problem with math

Question

so the question is a sofa originally priced at $1500 has been discounted 30% i need to find the answer

Answer 1

First, we need to find the amount of money taken off the original price for the 30% discount.

$1500 * 0.30 = $450

So, $450 are taken off the original price. To find the final discounted price we do

$1500 - $450 = $1050

So, the new price with the 30% discount is $1050 and the discount was $450.
