Question

Today only, a suit is being sold at a 45%
off discount. The original price is $270
What is the sale price?
$229.20
$123.60
$148.50
$100.00

Answer 1

To calculate the sale price after a 45% discount on the original price of $270, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the discount amount:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate}
\]
\[
\text{Discount} = 270 \times 0.45 = 121.50
\]

2. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount}
\]
\[
\text{Sale Price} = 270 - 121.50 = 148.50
\]

Thus, the sale price is **$148.50**.
