Question

If you want to buy an item in a store that costs $44.50 and is on sale for 25%

off, then how much would the item actually cost you after the discount?
Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

$33.38

Explanation:

25% off means you pay (100-25)=75% of the actual amount.

You change 75% to 0.75.

The actual amount you want to spend is 44.50 *0.75 = 33.375

Round this to nearest cent which is $33.38.
