Question

Melanie is buying a bathing suit that costs 39.99. she is given a discount at the cash register of $6.00 when she scratched 15% off on a game piece for a store promotion. What will the sale price of Melanie’s bathing suit be?

Answer 1

Answer: $5.10

Explanation:

39.99 - $6.00 = 33.99

Change 15% into a decimal -----> 0.15

multiply 0.15 and 33.99

33.99 x 0.15 = 5.0985

In this situation were the answer is in money my teacher would make me round so the answer would be 5.10 so I would say the answer is $5.10

I hope this helped : )
