Question

Jackie wants to buy a new CD player it cost $32.95 she has saved $26 and has a coupon for 30% off the price does Jackie have enough money to buy the CD Player

Answer 1

Yes Jackie would have enough money to buy a CD player. So you would have to do 32.95 times that by 30% (.3) and would get 9.885 which you would round that to 9.89 dollars.

Answer 2

Yes, Jackie has enough. You need to move the decimal place over one digit place. Then you multiply by 3 and you add 26 and compare with 32.95
