Question

Destiny sells newspapers at a

newsstand outside of her grocery
store. She normally charges $2.35 for
a newspaper. Today, Destiny has
lowered the price by $0.50. So far, she
has sold 8 newspapers at the new
price. How much money has Destiny
made so far from selling newspapers
at the new price?

Answer 1

$14.80

Explanation:

First you need to subtract .50 from 2.35, which is 1.85.

Next you need to multiply 1.85 times 8.

1.85 x 8 = 14.80

Therefore, she has made $14.80 since the new price.
