An XBOX 360 regularly sells for $399. It is on sale for 20% off. What is the sale price of the XBOX 360?
The sale price of the XBOX 360 is $319.20.
To find this, you can start by calculating what 20% of $399 is:
$399 x 0.20 = $79.80
This represents the discount that is being applied to the regular price. To get the sale price, you need to subtract the discount from the regular price:
$399 - $79.80 = $319.20
To find the sale price of the XBOX 360, first calculate the discount amount by multiplying the original price by the discount percentage.
Original price = $399
Discount percentage = 20%
Discount amount = $399 * 0.20 = $79.80
Next, subtract the discount amount from the original price to obtain the sale price.
Sale price = Original price - Discount amount
= $399 - $79.80
= $319.20
Therefore, the sale price of the XBOX 360 is $319.20.
Amber's birthday party will cost $12 if she invites 4 guests. If there are 7 guests, how much will Amber's birthday party cost (c)? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.
We can use a proportion to solve the problem:
12/4 = c/7
To solve for c, we can start by cross-multiplying:
4c = 12 x 7
Then, we can simplify:
4c = 84
Finally, we can solve for c by dividing both sides by 4:
c = 21
Therefore, Amber's birthday party will cost $21 if she invites 7 guests.
