Question 879757: hi,
1. The regular price of a 32-mb flash drive is $39.90. If the store
has a 20% discount on this item, what is the sales price?
First Multiply the drive price by the discounted % amount
39.90 X .20 =7.98
Now take the discount % amount and subtract it from your original amount
39.90-7.98 = 31.92
Therefore the sale price is $31.92
2. A 16-mb flash drive was sold on sale for $18.50. If this sales
price was 81% of the original price, what was the original price?
Discount
18.50 X .81 = 14.99
Original Price
18.50+14.99 = $33.49
thank you!
