Question

A video game that usually costs $30.65 is marked down 60%. Kelvin determined that the new price of the game would be $18.39. Look at Kelvin’s work and find his error.

($30.65)(0.60) = $18.39

Answer 1

Instead of multiplying by .6 he should have multiplied by.4

Answer 2

His error was that he didnt subtract by the discount amount

Step-by-step explanation:

He should've done this after he multiplied

30.65-(30.65*0.60)=30.65-18.39=12.26
