Nayeli went shopping for a new video game because of a sale. The store was offering a 45% discount. If the price on the tag was $44, what would be the price after the discount but before tax, to the nearest dollar and cent?
To find the price after the discount, we need to calculate 45% of the original price and then subtract it from the original price.
45% of $44 is (45/100) * $44 = $19.80
Subtracting $19.80 from $44 gives $44 - $19.80 = $<<44-19.80=24.20>>24.20
Therefore, the price after the discount but before tax is $24.20.
