Question

A box of bananas was bought for $50 and was sold for a 15% loss. What is the selling price of the bananas?

Answer 1

$42.50

Explanation:

when you have a percent loss you can take that number and subtracted from 100 and get your percentage

you multiply the amount by 85 percent

so this means it is 50 titimes 0.85

this gives me $42.5
