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.
