A gaming console regularly sells for $399. It is on sale for 20% off. Determine the sale price of the gaming console.

1 answer

To determine the sale price of the gaming console, we first need to calculate the discount amount and then subtract it from the regular price.

  1. Calculate the discount amount: \[ \text{Discount} = \text{Regular Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} \] \[ = 399 \times 0.20 = 79.80 \]

  2. Subtract the discount from the regular price to find the sale price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Regular Price} - \text{Discount} \] \[ = 399 - 79.80 = 319.20 \]

Therefore, the sale price of the gaming console is $319.20.
