Question

The price of an item has been reduced by 60%. The original price was $34.

Use the ALEKS calculator to find the price of the item now.

Answer 1

$13.60 cents

Explanation:

Given the following question:

60% of 34

In order to find the answer, we will use the formula to calculate percentages to find 60% of 34. Once we find that answer we will subtract it from the initial amount.


`(p* n)/(100)`

`(60*34)/(100) =60*34=2040/100=20.4`

`=20.40`

Now subtract:

`34-20.40=13.60`

`=13.60`

After a 60% discount the item will cost "$13.60 cents."

Hope this helps.
