mr. Krabs saw some rickety chairs on sale they were 89.5% off the normal price was $15 each mr. crab four chairs how much did he spend class=

Answer :

The normal price of each chair is

[tex]=\text{ \$15}[/tex]

The percentage off the normal price is

[tex]=89.5\text{ \%}[/tex]

The percentage of the present price of each chair will be

[tex]\begin{gathered} 100\text{ \% - 89.5 \%} \\ =10.5\text{ \%} \end{gathered}[/tex]

To calculate the present value of one chair, we will use the formula below

[tex]=\text{percentag of the normal price}\times normal\text{ price}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we will have

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{new price of each chair will be=}\frac{10.5}{100}\times15 \\ \text{new price of each chair will be}=\frac{157.5}{100} \\ \text{new price of each chair will be}=\text{ \$1.575} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since Mr .Krabs bought 4 chairs, the amount he spent will be

[tex]\text{Amount spent = price of each chair}\times Number\text{ of chairs}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we will have

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Amount spent = price of each chair}\times Number\text{ of chairs} \\ \text{Amount spent}=1.575\times4 \\ \text{Amount spent}=\text{ \$6.30} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore,

The amount Mr.Krabs spent is = $6.30
