Question

A video game that usually costs $30.65 is marked down 60%. Kelvin determined that the new price of the game would be $18.39. Look at Kelvin's work and find his error.

($30.65)(0.60)=$18.39

Answer 1

Answer: he forgot to do the step I explained below

Step-by-step explanation: 60% off 30.65 is 18.39$ of discount so the final price would be 12.26 so he figured Out the amount discounted but didn’t subtract it from 30.65

Answer 2

He forgot to subtract 18.39 from 30.65. The answer should have been $12.26

Explanation:

($30.65)(0.60)= $18.39

$30.65-$18.39= $12.26

Since it was marked down you have to subtract the discount price (18.39) from the actual price (30.65).
