In a sale a shop reduced the prices of all CDs by 15%. For a CD usually costing $12, what is the reduced price?
Girl fraction = G/(G + B)
= G/(G + (G/1.2)) =
= 1.2G/2.2G = 54.545 %
Boy fraction = 45.454 %
85% of $12
15/100 * $12
$ 1.8
Jennifer, that answer IS the discount. The question asks for the price AFTER the discount is taken. What do you think?
