If a shirt cost 9.99, but there was a sale that said 15% of the original price, how much was the shirt?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: $8.49

To solve this problem, you want to find out how much 15% of 9.99 is. To do that you have to multiply 9.99 by 0.15 (which equals 1.4985) to find out how much the shirt was discounted. Then take that number and subtract 9.99 from it which gives you 8.4915 (or $8.49 rounded)

Hope this helped you!

A half hour is 30 minutes. So you would need to divide 30 by 5 and you get six. Multiple 6 degrees Fahrenheit by 6 and you get 36 degrees. The solution cooled 36 degrees in half an hour.
