Question

A section of books is marked down by 15 percent from an original price of $16 each. How much will it cost to buy three books from the sale section? $12.60 $13.60 $37.80 $40.80

4.80 i think not 100% sure

Explanation:

Answer 2

$40.8

Step-by-step explanation: a $16 book at 15% off is $13.6. You can find this by first finding the amount deducted from the price (16 x 0.15 = $2.4) then subtract that amount from the original price ($16 - $2.4 = $13.6). Since it asks how much three books are, all you have to do is multiply the price of the discounted book by 3 ($13.60 x 3 = $40.80)
