The hardware store is having a 15% off sale on lawn mowers this weekend. If x is the original price of the lawn mower, what will be the final sales price, excluding tax?

Final price f = 0.85x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f represent the final price and

x is the original price of the lawn mower

Given;

The hardware store is having a 15% off sale on lawn mowers this weekend;

the final sales price, excluding tax will be equal to the original price minus 15% of the original price.

Final price f = 100% of x - 15% of x

Final price f = x - 0.15x

Final price f = 0.85x
