Question

Customer: "I heard that you are offering customers a 5% discount on their purchases

today if they apply for a store credit card. If I apply for a card today, how much would I
save on this $75.00 purchase?"
Employee: "You heard correctly! If you apply for a store credit card today, you would
save
on your purchase."
$3.50
$3.75
$4.00
$4.25
$4.50

Answer 1

B. 3.75

Explanation:

Lets take .05 of 75 to find our answer. An easy way to transform percentages into decimals is to view it as moving the point two times: 3.% -> .3 -> .03 or 25.% -> 2.5 -> .25

Okay, lets solve this one:

.05 x 75 = 3.75

Therefore, they would save $3.75 on their purchase.

Hope this helps!!
