If a computer game costs 49.99 but is reduced by 15%, what is the reduction, and what is the final price?
15% = 0.15
49.99 x 0.15 = R
Now you have the reduction.
Subtract the reduction from the original price, and you have the final price.
Yes! Thank you so much, I understand. At first I thought i was doing it wrong. This place is very helpful. (:
You're welcome!
To find the reduction, you'll need to calculate 15% of the original price. To do this, multiply the original price by 0.15:
Reduction = Original Price x 0.15
In this case, the original price is $49.99:
Reduction = $49.99 x 0.15
Now, let's calculate the reduction:
Reduction = $7.4985 (rounded to two decimal places)
Hence, the reduction is approximately $7.50.
To determine the final price after the reduction, subtract the reduction amount from the original price:
Final Price = Original Price - Reduction
Final Price = $49.99 - $7.50
Final Price = $42.49
Therefore, the final price of the computer game, after reducing it by 15%, is $42.49.
