Answer 1

To find the discounted price, multiply the original price by the discount percentage in decimal form, subtract this from the original price, and round to the nearest cent. The final cost after a 25% discount on $93.78 is $70.34.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating the Discounted Price

To calculate the actual cost after applying a 25% off coupon to the sticker price of $93.78, we use the following steps:

1. Calculate the discount amount by multiplying the sticker price by the discount percentage (converted to decimal form). That is: $93.78 × 0.25 = $23.445.
2. To find the price after the discount, subtract the discount amount from the original price: $93.78 - $23.445 = $70.335.
3. Finally, round the resulting amount to the nearest cent to get the actual cost to you: $70.34.

Therefore, the actual cost to you after the 25% discount is applied will be $70.34.
