Question

Kennedy wants to use an internet site to sell his gmae system. the website will charge him a fee that will be deducted from the selling price.
a) suppose the fee is 9 1/2% of the selling price. determine the amount of the fee if kennedy sells his system for $50

b) how much money will kennedy receive after the fee has been deducted?

Answer 1

We want to find 9.5% of $50.

First put 9.5% in decimal form. 9.5% = 0.095.

Then multiply 0.095 by 50. 50 * 0.095 = $4.75 fee

The money Kennedy will recieve is going to be 50 dollars minus the $4.75 fee.

50 - 4.75 = $45.25 with the fee subtracted
