To find the sale price of the dress, we need to calculate the discount amount first and then subtract that from the original price. Here’s how to do it:
- The original price of the dress is $6950.
- The discount percentage is 45%.
1. **Calculate the discount amount:**
A discount of 45% means you will pay 45% less than the original price. To find out how much that is, you can multiply the original price by the discount percentage (expressed as a decimal).
Discount Amount = Original Price × Discount Percentage
Discount Amount = $6950 × 0.45 = $3127.50
2. **Calculate the sale price:**
Next, subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the sale price.
Sale Price = Original Price – Discount Amount
Sale Price = $6950 – $3127.50 = $3822.50
So, the sale price of the dress is $3822.50.
