A shirt has an original cost of $90 but is on sale for 1/3 % off. How much is the shirt after the discount is applied?

Explanation:

I think the question is mis-worded

1/3 % in decimal is .0033333

.00333 * 90 = 30 cents off making the new price $ 89.70

I think you want 1/3 off ( not 1/3 %)

1/3 of 90 is 30 dollars off....the new price would then be 90 - 30 = $60
