Question

A stereo was to be sold at a 70% discount, which amounted to $420. which statement is true?
A. the sale price is $180.
B. the original price was $600

Answer 1

B?

Answer 2

Assuming I interpreted your question correctly (it's a little ambiguous. What amounted to 420, the discount or the final price?) both of them are correct, because the original price would be 600, 70% off would be 420 off, for a sales price of 180.

Answer 3

is not 70 % of 420 *294*

Answer 4

@vinnv226

Answer 5

70% of 600 is 420

Answer 6

The question is rather ambiguous, maybe I'm interpreting it wrong?

Answer 7

No idea,anyway.

Answer 8

Both options are correct for you? I think It's B though

Answer 9

Either the discount amounted to 420 and both statements are true, or the final price was 420 and neither statement is false. I'll give my vote to "bogus question."

Answer 10

@wwhitney94 what do you think?

Answer 11

Sorry, I meant "neither is true".
