Are used car block run sales at the end of the year to reduce inventory this year. The sale price is 15% less than the regular price if the regular price of a car is $12,000 what is the sale price of the car?

Answer 1

To calculate the sale price of the car after a 15% discount on the regular price, you can follow these steps:

1. Determine the discount amount: \[ \text{Discount} = \text{Regular Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 12000 \times 0.15 = 1800 \]

2. Subtract the discount from the regular price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Regular Price} - \text{Discount} = 12000 - 1800 = 10200 \]

Thus, the sale price of the car is $10,200.
