Question

Kaylee is a member of girls scouts for firebrand station. she has been selling cookies infront of giant and noticed that each night her sales drop by 75% of her previous night sales. If her first night sale was $1,200 how much will Kaylee sell on the 5th night?

Answer 1

Answer: $379.69

Explanation:

So first we can represent 75% as 3/4 which is easier for me to explain. so first I would do 1200*3/4 which will be 900 then I would do it again until the 5th night so 900*3/4=675 then 675*3/4=506.25 and then 506.25*3/4=379.6875. So Kaylee would sell $379.6875 but we can't do thousandths place so we round to the nearest hundredth so the final answer is

$379.69
