Since it's Wednesday, Buy for Less gives a 5% discount for purchases. The items in Rhonda's cart total $53.75. She needs to know
the cost of the items with the discount. So, she multiplies 5% times $53.75 and subtracts the amount from $53.75. Which expression would give Rhonda the same result in one step? A) .90(53.75) B) .95(53.75) C) 1.05(53.75) D) 53.75 - .05(53.75)
First we need to know how much the discount was so 5% is actually 0.05 then we need to multiply it by 53.75 which would equal 2.6875 then subtract it by 53.75 which would equal -51.0625.
B) .95(53.75)
This is a trick question because D) could also be correct if they said you could subtract it but it's not saying use the distributive property.
Dividing 100 by 456.3 would be 4.563. Lara would need to tell her to look at the zeros, and how many places to move. Dividing by 100 is basically moving the numbers 3 places to the right. Hope this helped ☆
