Question

A fax machine that regularly sells for $188.28 is on sale for 331

3

%

off the regular price. Find the sale price.

Answer 1

Regular Price = $ 188.28

Sale Percentage off = 33 1/3 % = 100/3 % = 1/3 this is the fraction of total price that would now be discounted.

Sale discount = $188.28 * 1/3 = $62.76 this is the amount of sale discount

Sale Price = $188.28 - $ 62.76 = $125.52 this is the new sale price.
