Question

2. At Big Y, they have a sale, giving 15% off cakes. If my cake is $35 before the discount, how

much is it after the discount?

Answer 1

$29.75

Explanation:

To find the price after the 15% discount, you can use the formula:

`\[ \text{Discounted Price} = \text{Original Price} - (\text{Original Price} * \text{Discount Percentage}) \]`

For your cake:

`\[ \text{Discounted Price} = $35 - ($35 * 0.15) \]\[ \text{Discounted Price} = $35 - $5.25 \]\[ \text{Discounted Price} = $29.75 \]`

So, after the 15% discount, your cake would be $29.75.
