115.05?

OpenStudy (icalibear):

My answer choices are 100 120 180 260 and it says find the one closest so would i pick 120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

295(1-0.39) = answer

OpenStudy (icalibear):

Is that always the fromula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, reduced price = original price(1 - discount factor) discount factor is percentage as a fraction.
