Question

Braden goes to the store to buy earmuffs. The sign says they were originally $13.50 but they are on sale for 15% off. What is the cost of the earmuffs now

Answer 1

$11.48

Explanation:

Change 15% to 0.15. then you multiply 13.50 by 0.15

13.50 x 0.15 = 2.025

Then you round 2.025

by rounding 2.025 you should get 2.03

with that you should subtract $13.50 by 2.03

13.50 - 2.03 = 11.48

I hope this helps :)
