Question

Colton went shopping for a new camera because of a sale. The store was offering a 25% discount. If the price on the tag was $45, what would be the price after the discount but before tax, to the nearest dollar and cent?

Answer 1

Answer: $34

Step-by-step explanation:

Price on tag = $45

Discount offered = 25%

First, we need to calculate the amount of discount that was offered. This will be:

= 25% × $45

= 25/100 × $45

= 0.25 × $45

= $11.25

Therefore, the price after the discount will be:

= Selling Price before discount - discount

= $45 - $11.25

= $33.75

= $34 to nearest dollar
