A bicycle that usually sells for 230 is on sale for 15% off. Find the sale price

195.25

Step-by-step explanation:  

\frac{15}{100}  =  \frac{x}{230 }  \\ x =  \frac{15 \times 230}{100}  =  \frac{3450}{100 }  = 34.5

15% of $230 is $34.5

230  - 34.5 = 195.5

so the price is $195.5

The original price of the item is $230.

The discount is 25%.

Let's find 25% of $230.

25% of $230 = 0.25 * $230 = $57.50

The discount amount is $57.50.

Now you need to subtract the amount of the discount from the original cost.

Sale price = $230 - $57.50 = $172.50
