Question

$2.99 toy ; 30% discount

Answer 1

If a toy that costs $2.99 is at a 30% discount then you first need to make 30% a decimal.

30% = .3

Now multiply $2.99 by .3 to find the discount which is .897

Since .897 has a thousandths place we need to round that which would make it 90 cents.

Now we know there is a 90 cent discount on a $2.99 toy.

take $2.99 - 90 cents = $2.09

The toy costs $2.09 after a 30% discount
