Question

Jacob went to Walmart to buy a water cooler for $4650.Walmart offered an off-season discount of 18%. Howmuch did Jacob pay for the water cooler?

Answer 1

Jacob paid $3813 for the water cooler after the off-season discount of 18%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Jacob paid for the water cooler after the off-season discount, we need to calculate the amount of discount first. The discount is 18% of the original price, which means Jacob will get a reduction of 18/100 * $4650 = $837. To calculate the final amount Jacob paid, subtract the discount from the original price: $4650 - $837 = $3813.

Answer 2

Cooler price = $4650

Discount= 18%

First, calculate the discount amount by multiplying the cooler price (4650) by the discount percentage in decimal form ( divided by 100):

4650 x (18/100) = 4650x 0.18 = $837

Now, subtract the discount amount to the original price:

4650-837 = 3,813

Jacob paid $3,813 for the water cooler.
