An Item is regularly priced at $60. It is now priced at a discount of 65% off the regular price. What is the price now?

$21

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to do this question:

1. Multiply 60 by .65 and minus the product from the original price ($60)

2. Multiply 60 by .35 (This is because the discounted price maintains 35% of the regular price)

Let's do it both ways:

1. (60)(.65) = 39

60 - 39 = 21

2. (60)(.35) = 21

Therefore, the price now is $21.

I hope this helps!!

2300

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1: (cross multiplication)

1-0.65=0.35 (man)

0.35 = 805 people

1 = 1*805/0.35 = 2300

Method 2: (algebraic method)

Let x = total people

0.35x = 805

x = 805/0.35 = 2300
