A necklace regularly sells for $18.00. the store advertises a 15% discount. what is the sale price of the necklace in dollars

1 answer:

6 0

I can solve with 2 methods:

I. Because the discount is 15 % of 18 $ , the price will be (100-15=85) 85 % of 18 $
18*85/100= 15,3 $ ( the sale price)

II. The discount is 15 % of 18$
15*18/100= 2,7$ ( the discount)
then I decrease it from the regularly price
18$-2,7$=15,3 $ (the sale price)

Personally I believe the first is an easier method.
I hope you understand and you can apply this in every similary problem.

During a four-week period, you worked the following hours: Week 1- 363 /8 hr; Week 2- 411 /4 hr; Week 3- 401 /2 hr; Week 4- 383

Dafna11 [192]

The average number of hours can be calculated using the following rule:
average number of hours = total number of hours / total number of weeks

total number of hours = 36 3/8 + 41 1/4 + 40 1/2 + 38 3/8 = 313/2 hours
total number of weeks = 4 weeks

Average number of hours per week = (313/2) / (4) = 39 1/8 hour

Based on the above calculations, the correct answer is:
C. 39 1/8 hour
