Question

Find the selling price of a $15.25 pair of Marvel socks with a18% discount.Round to the nearest cent when necessary.

Answer 1

To find the price of these socks you will have to find the 18% of the total price first:

`18\text{percent}=(price*18)/(100)=(15.25*18)/(100)=(274.5)/(100)=2.745`

Then, you just have to substract this amount to the total price:

`15.25-2.745=12.505`

Rounded to the nearest tenth is: $12.5
