> a refrigerator costs $560. the refrigerator is on sale for 30%off the regular price. what is the total cost of the refrigerator after the discount?

I'm guessing the regular price = $560 ?

If that's the case, then there are two ways to figure it out, one of them not even requiring a calculator.

Method one:

Since you're lowering the price by 30%, that means that 70% of the original price will remain. So use your calculator and multiply 560 times 0.70.

Method two:

Since you're lowering the price by 30%, that means you're lowering it by 3 times 10%.
10 % of any number is easy to find (move the decimal to the left by one)

10% of 560 = 56
20% of 560 = 2*56 = 112
30% of 560 = 3*56 or 56+112 = 168

But we're SUBTRACTING 168 from 560.

So what is

560 - 168?

It's the same as 0.70 * 568. (check this with your calculator!)
