Question

if your cellphone bill was $67.82 and there is a 7.5% late fee, how much will your bill be with the late fee included?

Answer 1

5.08

Explanation:

So if you move the decimal 2 places to the left you get 1% of the price (.6782) and since there is 7.5% multiply that by 7 to get (4.7474). Then you need to divide the 1% in half to get the .5. (.3391) and then add that amount to (4.7474)

so 4.7474+.3391=5.0865

or 5.08
