Sorry -- typo
33.8 * 0.975 = ?
$33.80 * 2.5%
33.8 * 0.025 = 0.845 = 0.85
$33.80 - $0.85 = $32.95

Well, it seems like the laundry bill likes to play tricks on people's wallets! Let's crunch some numbers.
If the original laundry bill is $33.80, and the company is offering a 2.5% discount for paying within 10 days, we need to calculate 2.5% of $33.80.
To calculate the discount, we multiply $33.80 by 2.5% (or 0.025, to make it easier). That gives us $0.845.
Now, to calculate the amount of the bill after the discount, we subtract the discount from the original bill.
So, $33.80 - $0.845 = $32.955 (rounded to two decimal places).
Therefore, the amount of the bill, after the 2.5% discount is applied, would be approximately $32.96. Phew, the bill managed to lighten up a bit!
To calculate the amount of the laundry bill, follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the discount percentage. The problem states that a 2.5% discount is allowed if the bill is paid within 10 days.
Step 2: Calculate the discount amount by multiplying the laundry bill by the discount percentage. In this case, the bill is $33.80, so the discount amount would be 2.5% of $33.80.
Discount amount = 2.5% of $33.80
= (2.5/100) * $33.80
= 0.025 * $33.80
Step 3: Subtract the discount amount from the bill to get the final amount.
Final bill amount = Bill amount - Discount amount
= $33.80 - Discount amount
Now it's time to calculate the specific discount amount and the final bill amount.
Discount amount = 0.025 * $33.80
= $0.845
Final bill amount = $33.80 - $0.845
= $32.955
Therefore, the amount of the bill, after applying the 2.5% discount, is $32.955.
