Sears has a dishwasher that costs [tex]\$679[/tex]. It is on sale for [tex]35\%[/tex] off. How much would you pay?

A. [tex]\$375.75[/tex]
B. [tex]\$237.65[/tex]
C. [tex]\$441.35[/tex]
D. [tex]\$427.35[/tex]



Answer :

Sure! Let's solve this problem step-by-step:

1. Understand the problem: The original price of the dishwasher is \[tex]$679, and it is on sale for 35% off. We need to find out the amount we would pay after applying the discount. 2. Convert the discount percentage to a decimal: - 35% as a decimal is \( \frac{35}{100} = 0.35 \). 3. Calculate the discount amount: - Multiply the original price by the discount percentage: \[ 679 \times 0.35 = 237.65 \] So, the discount amount is \$[/tex]237.65.

4. Subtract the discount amount from the original price to get the sale price:
- Subtract the discount from the original price:
[tex]\[ 679 - 237.65 = 441.35 \][/tex]
Therefore, the final price you would pay for the dishwasher after the discount is \[tex]$441.35. 5. Choose the correct option: - The correct answer is c. \$[/tex]441.35

So, you would pay \$441.35 for the dishwasher after the 35% discount.
