Solve the proportion:
The local technology store had discounted all of their products 40%. What will your purchase price be if the tablet you are looking at originally costs $475.00
1-0.40 = 0.60
0.60 * 475 = $285
Thank u!!
You are welcome.
To solve this proportion, we need to determine the discounted price of the tablet after the 40% discount.
Let x be the discounted price of the tablet.
We can set up the proportion to solve for x as follows:
40/100 = x/$475.00
To solve this, we can cross-multiply:
40 * $475.00 = 100x
Now, we can simplify the equation:
$19,000 = 100x
To find the value of x, we divide both sides of the equation by 100:
$19,000 / 100 = x
$190 = x
Therefore, the discounted price of the tablet would be $190. So, your purchase price would be $190.
