Emmanuel went to the store and
found a drone he wanted to buy for
$450. Emmanuel then noticed that
the robot was on sale for 33% off its
original price. What is the new sales
price of the robot? *

$148.50

Step-by-step explanation

I solved this by using fractions.

x/450=33/100 is how I set up the problem. 33/100 represents 33%, while x/450 represents how much the jacket costs now.

I then went across and multiplied x by 100, and 450 by 33, which gave me 100x=14850. After this I divided each side by 100 to get 148.5, being the cost of the jacket.

wholesale price is the initial price before markup. retail price comes after the markup.

a price of 8 bucks that's marked up by 100%   is

formula: initial price + (percent markup in fraction/decimal)(initial price)

8+(1)(8)

8+8

16

retail price is $16.
