Question

The price of a venti vanilla bean Frappuccino from Starbucks is $4.45, but you have only $3 with you. Your friend is working and gets you a discount of 20%. How much does the drink cost with the discount? Do you have enough to buy the drink? How much money are you short?

Answer 1

The price of the drink with the discount is $4.45 * (1 - 0.2) = $4.45 * 0.8 = $3.56.

You have $3, so you do not have enough money to buy the drink with the discount. You are short $3.56 - $3 = $0.56.

You need to either find a way to get an additional $0.56 or choose a cheaper drink.

Answer 2

Answer: WIth the discount: $3.56, you do not have enough money, and are $0.56 short.

Explanation:

Find 20% of 4.45

(4.45*0.2)= 0.89

Subtract the 20% from 4.45.

4.45-0.89=3.56

$3.56 is more than the $3 you have.

Subtract the $3 you have from the discounted price.

3.56-3.00=0.56

you are $0.56 short.
