Question

Last month, the price of apples at a grocery store was $1.60 per pound. This week, apples at the same grocery store are on sale at a 5% discount. What is the total price of 4 1/2 pounds of apples this week at the grocery store?

Answer 1

6.84

Explanation:

1.60x4.5= 7.2

7.2 is the total price without the discount

7.2/100= 0.072 this is 1% of the entire price

0.072x5=0.36 so subtract this by your total

7.20-0.36= 6.84
