Answer:

18. $4.50

19. $18

Explanation:

18.

The discount is 15%.

The original price is $30.

The discount is 15% of $30.

To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number. Change the percent to a decimal by dividing the percent by 100.

15% of $30 = 15% × $30 = 0.15 × $30 = $4.50

19.

The discount is 25%.

The original price is $24.

The discount is 25% of $24.

To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number. Change the percent to a decimal by dividing the percent by 100.

25% of $24 = 25% × $24 = 0.25 × $24 = $6

The discount is $6.

Now we subtract the amount of the discount, $6, from the original price.

$24 - $6 = $18

Answer: $18
