Question

Nayeli went shopping for a new video game because of a sale. The store was offering a 45% discount. If the price on the tag was $44, what would be the price after the discount but before tax, to the nearest dollar and cent?

Answer 1

Answer:$20
Working: 45% of $44 is $19.8
To the nearest dollar is $20

Answer 2

Explanation:

45 % discount means 55/100.

55/100 x $44

simplify

0.55 x 44

= (5 x 44) + (50 x 44)

() = 220

220 +?

() = 2200

220 + 2200 = 2420

move the decimal back, and then... $24.20

The answer would be $24.20
