Question

if eddie buy carrots and her discount is 35% and the original price of the carrots is $7.40 how much did she pay

Answer 1

First, find what is 35% of $7.40 equal to. To do so, multiply 7.40 times 35/100:

`7.4*(35)/(100)=2.59`

Then, the discount is equal to $2.59. To find the final price, substract the discount (2.59) from the original price (7.4):

`7.4-2.59=4.81`

Therefore, the price that she paid was:

`\text{ \$4.81}`
