Question

An item normally $15.99 is listed as being on sale for 30% off its original price, what must you pay?

Answer 1

Answer: a. You must pay $11.19 for the item.

b.The price you would expect to pay would be $36.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, for first the question you need to calculate the 30 percent of the price of the item, and then subtract that result to the original price.

So: $15.99 × 0,30 = $4.797

$15.99 - $4.797 = $11.19

You must pay $11.19 for the item.

• Question 2:

It´s a similar resolution, first you calculate the 40 percent of the retail price, and then subtract that result to the retail price.

So:

$60.99 × 0,40= $24.396

$60.99 - $24.396 = $36.59

The price you would expect to pay would be $36.59
