Question

Monkey Chunks cereal is normally $3.25 per box but today it’s on sale for 25% off. What is the new price and round to the nearest penny? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Answer 1

$2.44

Explanation:

Change the percentage into a decimal. Move the decimal point to the left two place values.

25% = 25/100 = 0.25

Multiply the two numbers:

3.25 x 0.25 = 0.8125

Subtract the number gotten from the original number. Remember to first simplify.

0.8125 = 0.81

3.25 - 0.81 = 2.44

$2.44 is your new price.
