Use the ALEKS calculator to find the sale price.

Answer 1

To find the sale price, you first need to calculate 70% of the original price.

1. Find 70% of the original price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} \times 0.70 \]

   Substituting the original price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = 26 \times 0.70 \]

2. Now perform the multiplication: \[ \text{Sale Price} = 26 \times 0.70 = 18.2 \]

The sale price is $18.20.
