Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate the Discount Amount
To find the discount amount (D), multiply the original price (P = $730) by the discount rate (r = 15%).
Using the formula: $D = P \times \frac{r}{100} = $730 \times \frac{15}{100} = $109.5.$
Step 2: Calculate the Sale Price
To find the sale price (S), subtract the discount amount (D = $109.5) from the original price (P = $730).
Using the formula: $S = P - D = $730 - $109.5 = $620.5.$
Final Answer:
The discount amount is $109.5, and the sale price after applying the discount is $620.5.
