3) Find the discounted price, to the nearest cent, for a portable CD player that sells for $59.95 and is on sale for 30% off.

Find the percent of change. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary.

Answer 1

If it sells for 59.95, and it's on sale for 30% off, you can use this equation to find the new, discounted price:

59.95 x 0.70 (the 0.70 resembling 100-30%)

The answer of this equation is 41.965, rounded to 41.97.

Percent of change: about 30% (29.9917% decrease)
