A xbox is marked down $75. If this is a 15% decrease, find the sale price?

9514 1404 393

  $425

Step-by-step explanation:

After the decrease, the sale price is 100% -15% = 85% of the original price. Of course, the markdown is 15% of the original price. Then the ratio of sale price to markdown is ...

  (sale price)/(markdown) = (85%)/(15%)

  sale price = markdown × 85/15 . . . . . multiply by markdown

  sale price = $75 × 85/15 = $425

The sale price of the x-box is $425.

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
