Question

Julie works at a pizza place in Phoenix. She receives a 15% discount on any pizza that she buys. If a large pizza costs $14.00, what is the amount of Julie’s discount? What is the final cost of her pizza?

Answer 1

The final cost of her pizza is $11.90

Explanation:

First we need to convert 15% into a decimal, which is 0.15.

Now we multiply $14 and 0.15.

$14 × 0.15 = $2.10.

Now we subtract $2.10 from $14.00.

$14.00 - $2.10 = $11.90
