1 answer

To find the sale price of the gas stove, we first need to calculate the amount of the discount and then subtract that from the original price.

  1. Calculate the discount: \[ \text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 749 \times 0.30 = 224.70 \]

  2. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 749 - 224.70 = 524.30 \]

Thus, the sale price of the gas stove is $524.30.

The correct answer is B. $524.30.
