If you want to buy an item in a store that costs $24 and is on sale for 30% off, then how much would the item actually cost you after the discount? Round to the nearest cent.

£16.80 as the decimal value of 30% is 0.7 so multiply 24 by 0.7 to get the discounted price

Answer: $16.80

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find 30% of 24. You can do this by doing .30*24. Then you get 7.2. Now you know what 30% of 24 is, so you subtract it from 24 since it is a discount. So -> 24 - 7.2 = $16.80.

Hope this helped!
