Given:

Dishwasher cost: 679

Discount rate: 35%

Find how much was paid.

Solution:

Convert 35% into decimal by dividing it with 100, hence in order to convert a decimal into percentage, we multiply it with 100.

=35/100

=0.35

Multiply the dishwasher cost by 0.35 in order to get the total discount.

= (0.35)(679)

=237.65

Subtract 679 by 237.65  in order to determine how much was paid.

= 679 -237.65

= 441.35

The total amount that was paid was 441.35
