Question

Kaylee is buying a calculator that has a price tag of $65. At the register, the cashier applies a 15% discount to the $65 price. How much will Kaylee pay for the calculator after the 15% discount?

Answer 1

`\sf { 55.25}`

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the percentage price of calculator = $65 × 15%

`= (65)/(1) * (15)/(100)`

`= 65 * 0.15`

`= 9.75`

Step 2: Substract the price of the percentage from the price of the calculator

`= 65 - 9.75`

`= 55.25`

So, Kaylee will pay $55.25 for the calculator after the 15% discount
