A violin originally costs $700, but it is on sale for 15% off. If a customer buying the violin has a gift card for $60.00, what will his final price be on the violin after using the gift card?

Respuesta :

Convert the percent to a decimal
.15

Then, multiply 700 by 0.15 = 105.
Next, add 60 to 105 to get 165.

Finally, do 700-165=535.

Answer: $535
Hello!

First, we must find out how much the $15 discount is worth and subtract it from the cost of the violin.

700 × 15% = 105

700 - 105 = 595

Next, subtract the gift card's worth ($60) from this discounted price.

595 - 60 = 535

Therefore, the final price of the violin is $535.
