since 10% is
Sorry about that, since 10% is 2 from 24 then 5% is 1. 1+2=3
the answer then is 21
Have a great day :) And don't forget to stick around to hear more from Jiskha Homework Help
discount = .15(24) = 3.60
selling price = 24 - 3.60 = $20.40
or
just take .85(24) = 20.40
To find the price after the discount is taken off, you need to calculate the discount amount and subtract it from the regular price.
First, calculate the discount amount:
Discount amount = (15/100) * Regular price
Substituting the values:
Discount amount = (15/100) * $24
Discount amount = $3.6
Now, subtract the discount amount from the regular price to find the price after the discount:
Price after discount = Regular price - Discount amount
Price after discount = $24 - $3.6
Price after discount = $20.4
Therefore, the price after the discount is taken off is $20.4.
