Two different websites offer the same watch for sale. The watch costs $45 on both sites. The site, Watches for Less charges a
shipping fee of 4% of the cost of the watch. The site, Tick Tock charges 2.5% of the cost of the watch for shipping. How much less
will the total cost of the watch be if purchased from Tick Tock?
Round your answer to the hundredths place.​

Answer 1

0.67

Explanation:

To solve this we are going to use this lovely equation

P%•X=Y

Y is our end product

X in this case is 45

and P% is our percent

Now let's multiply 4% which becomes .004 by 45 and we get 1.8 which since there isn't 1.8 in American currency that becomes $1.80

We do the same process with the 2.5

0.025•45=1.125

Again not in the American currency so we will round 5 up and now we have $1.13

Now we subtract 1.80-1.13 which gets us 0.67 cents.
