Question 897242
Original Price: $276



1/3 of that original price:  (1/3)*276 = 276/3 = 92


So the discount is $92. This means we are subtracting $92 and this is the amount the buyer saves.



Sale Price = (Original Price) - (Discount)


Sale Price = (276) - (92)


Sale Price = 184



The sale price is $184

Alternative Method:


We take 1/3 off the price, so we're left with 1 - (1/3) = 3/3 - 1/3 = 2/3 of the original price to actually pay.


We save 1/3 of the original, we pay the 2/3 left remaining.


two thirds of 276 = (2/3)*276 = 184


and we get the same answer (just in a different way).
