Problem 67
Question
An exercise machine with an original price of \(\$ 860\) is on sale at \(12 \%\) off. a. What is the discount amount? b. What is the exercise machine's sale price?
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The discount amount on the exercise machine is $103.2 and the machine's sale price is $756.8.
1Step 1: Calculate discount amount
To find the discount amount, multiply the original price by the discount rate. As given, the original price of the exercise machine is $860 and the discount rate is 12%. Therefore, the discount amount can be calculated as \( 860 * 0.12 = 103.2 \)
2Step 2: Calculate sale price
The sale price is the original price minus the discount. We have the original price as $860 and we calculated the discount to be $103.2. Therefore, the sale price of the exercise machine equals the original price minus the discount, which is \( 860 - 103.2 = 756.8 \)
