Question

Andrea works as a cashier in a music store. A customer wants to buy a CD that is

on sale for 15% off the regular price of $14.00. This means she will pay 85% of
$14.00. How much will Andrea pay?

Answer 1

$11.9

Explanation:

The regular cost of the CD = $14:00

The discount she gets = 15%

So, 15% of $14 = 2.1

= $14 - $2.1 = $11.9

Another method:

Or u can take 85% of $14 and u will get the immediately

85% of $14 = $11.9

Answer 2

$11.90

Explanation:

first you change the percent to a decimal by moving the decimal two places and then multiply.

you multiply .85 and 14.00= 11.90
