Question

Madison bought her Grandfather a new hat for his birthday. The hat cost $12.99 and was hanging on the 50% clearance rack. How much was the cost of the hat after the discount

Answer 1

$6.49 or, rounded to the nearest tenth, $6.50.

Explanation:

First, find out how much 50% of 12.99 is:

12.99x0.5=6.495

Round 6.495 to the nearest hundredth- 6.50

Then, subtract the amount off from the original price:

12.99-6.50=6.49

So the cost of the hat after the discount is $6.49.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

the hat would cost $6.495 which if you round the answer it would be $6.50

Explanation:

12.99*50%=12.900*.50=6.495 round to 6.50
