If something is $99.99, and it is 55% off, would the price be $44.99 or $45.00?
If something is $67.99, and it is 25% off, would the percent off be $16.99 or $17.00?
0.25 * 67.99 = 16.9975 = $17.00
54.99
17.00
To find the discounted price after applying a percentage off, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with the original price.
2. Multiply the original price by the percentage off (converted to a decimal).
3. Subtract the result from the original price.
Let's apply this process to your first question:
Original price: $99.99
Percentage off: 55%
Step 1:
Original price = $99.99
Step 2:
Percentage off = 55% = 55/100 = 0.55
Discounted amount = $99.99 * 0.55 = $54.9945
Step 3:
Discounted price = Original price - Discounted amount
Discounted price = $99.99 - $54.9945 = $44.9955
Now, rounding the discounted price, we find that it would be $45.00.
For your second question:
Original price: $67.99
Percentage off: 25%
Step 1:
Original price = $67.99
Step 2:
Percentage off = 25% = 25/100 = 0.25
Discounted amount = $67.99 * 0.25 = $16.9975
Step 3:
Discounted price = Original price - Discounted amount
Discounted price = $67.99 - $16.9975 = $50.9925
Rounding the discounted price, we find that it would be $51.00.
Therefore, in the first case, the price would be $45.00, and in the second case, the discounted amount would be $17.00.
