Janelle bought a beach chair on sale at 60% off. The original price was $24.95. Round answers to the nearest cent.
What is the amount of discount?
What is the sale price?
Part 1
we have that
60%=60/100=0.60
Multiply the factor 0.60 by the original price
24.95*0.60=14.97
therefore
the amount of discount is $14.97
Part 2
the sale price is equal to subtract the amount of discount from the original price
24.95-14.97=$9.98
the sale price is $9.98
