Question

If an item is originally priced at $212, and is discounted by 39%, what is the new price?

Answer 1

129.32$ x tax rate

Explanation:

If you want 39% of 212 you have to multiply it by 0.39.
`212 times 0.39=82.68`
That means that 82.68$ of the item's price is being taken off.
So now subtract 82.68 from the total amount (212).
`212-82.68=129.32$`
Then, if you want to add taxes, just multiply 129.32 by 1.**. Where the stars represent your local tax rates.
You're done!

Answer 2

129.32$

Explanation:

To find the new price, we must subtract the discount. The discount is `39%` of `212`
`= 39/100 xx212 = 39 xx2.12`
`=82.68$`

The new price is the (old price - the discount)
`= (212 - 82.68)$`
`= 129.32$`
