Answer 1

To find the price of the phone, which is 35% of the price of the laptop, we can calculate it as follows:

1. Calculate 35% of $420: \[ \text{Price of the phone} = 0.35 \times 420 \]

2. Perform the multiplication: \[ \text{Price of the phone} = 147 \]

Therefore, the price of the phone is $147.
