An exercise machine with an original price of $760 is on sale at 15% off.

Question

a. What is the discount amount?
b. What is the exercise machine's sale price?

Answer 1

To calculate the discount amount and the sale price of the exercise machine, follow these steps:

a. Calculate the discount amount:

1. Find 15% of the original price: \[ \text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 760 \times 0.15 \] \[ \text{Discount} = 760 \times 0.15 = 114 \]

So, the discount amount is $114.

b. Calculate the sale price:

1. Subtract the discount from the original price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 760 - 114 \] \[ \text{Sale Price} = 646 \]

The exercise machine's sale price is $646.
