Question

A department store is selling a watch with an initial price of $340. If the price of the watch is marked down by 35%, what is the sale price?

Answer 1

Answer:

We multiply by 340 x 0.35 then deduct afterwards.

So that = 119   and; 340-119 = 221

Sale price = $221

Step-by-step explanation:

When you stick to this way as same increase or decrease way forward, it applies to all increases and deductions and workings out for all percentage, you can then just remember to add 1 to 0.35 if it was a 35% increase, that way it will always help you remind yourself a similar method of decimalization and not converting can keep things central on solely what the percentage value represents and how it works that and each sum.

You would obviously for $400 and 2.5% interest fixed for 3 years f(x) 400 x 0.025^3  by adding the power also and this works and is applied for Standard Interest.

Answer 2

Answer:

221$

Step-by-step explanation:

a price being marked down by 35% is the same thing as just 65% of the original product ( 100-35 = 65)

then you can just replace 65% with 0.65 and you're all set

0.65 * 340 = 221$

Goodluck with your schoolwork/homework!
