Answer:
a) Which item’s price was reduced by more, and by how many dollars more was it reduced?
The DVD player's price was reduced more by $3.82 than the stereo tuner's price.
b) Round all dollar values to the nearest cent.
Rounding $3.82 dollars to the nearest cents
$1 = 100 cents
$3.82 =
3.82 × 100 cents
= 382 cents
The DVD player's price was reduced by 382 cents more than the stereo tuner's price
Explanation:
Lets day the original price of the DVD player was $100
We are told the price was marked down to 36%
36% of $100 = $36
$100 - $36 = $64
We are told the DVD cost $41.60 after the markdown.
Original cost of DVD =
$41.60/$64 × 100 = $65
Lets the original price of the Stereo player was $100
We are told the price was marked down to 22%
22% of $100 = $22
$100 - $22 = $78
We are told the DVD cost $69.42 after the markdown.
Original cost of Stereo =
$69.42/$78 × 100 = $89
DVD = $65 - $41.60 = $23.40 less
Stereo = $89 - 69.42 = $19.58 less
Difference between the DVD and the Stereo is
$23.40 - $19.58 = $3.82
Therefore,the DVD player's price was reduced by $3.82 more than the stereo tuner's price
Rounding $3.82 dollars to the nearest cents
$1 = 100 cents
$3.82 =
3.82 × 100 cents
= 382 cents
