Natureland Garden Center buys lawn mowers that list for $679.95 less a 30% trade discount. What is the dollar amount of the trade discount?
.30*679.95 = 203.99
To find the dollar amount of the trade discount, we need to calculate 30% of the list price of the lawn mower.
Step 1: Convert the discount percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 30/100 = 0.3.
Step 2: Multiply the decimal discount by the list price of the lawn mower: 0.3 x $679.95 = $203.99.
Therefore, the dollar amount of the trade discount is $203.99.
