Can you just help me?
So, if something is $99.99, and it is 55% off, would the price be $44.99 or $45.00?
And of something is $67.99, and is 25% off, would the price be $16.99 or $17.00?
oops...... wrong question.
99.99 * 0.45 = 44.995
That rounds up to $45.00
Your second answer is way off.
ya........ i put the wrong thing.
Of course, I'd be happy to help!
To determine the final price after a discount, you'll multiply the original price by the percentage as a decimal. Then, subtract that amount from the original price.
Let's break it down:
For the first question:
1. Start with the original price: $99.99
2. 55% off is equal to a discount of 0.55 (convert percentage to decimal)
3. Multiply the original price by the discount: $99.99 * 0.55 = $54.9945
4. Round to the nearest cent if necessary: $54.99 (since it's below 0.5)
Therefore, the final price after a 55% discount would be $54.99.
For the second question:
1. Start with the original price: $67.99
2. 25% off is equal to a discount of 0.25 (convert percentage to decimal)
3. Multiply the original price by the discount: $67.99 * 0.25 = $16.9975
4. Round to the nearest cent if necessary: $16.99 (since it's below 0.5)
So, the final price after a 25% discount would be $16.99.
In both cases, the final price is rounded down to the nearest cent because it is below $0.50. Therefore, the correct answer for the first question is $54.99, and for the second question, it is $16.99.
