Question

A video game originally cost $49.99, but it’s on the clearance rack marked 40% off. What’s the new price?

Answer 1

Answer: the new price of the video game is 30 dollars.

Explanation:

Use cross multiplication to find percentages.

Multiply 40 and 49.99 = a

then divide the answer by 100 = (a divided by 100 = c)

And last but not least subtract 49.99 - b

Answer 2

Answer: 20 rounded to the nearest hundredth

19.996 not rounded

20.0 rounded to the nearest tenth
