Question

Shelly’s Boutique had a Labor Day sale featuring 25% off any item. Tammy wanted to buy a blouse that originally sold for $21.99. To the nearest cent, how much will it cost her before tax to buy the blouse during the sale?

Answer 1

21.99 * .25 = 5.4975

21.99 - 5.4975 =

16.4925

answer : $16.49

Answer 2

$16.49

Explanation:

21.99 x .75 = 16.4925

Rounded to the nearest cent is 16.49

If we are taking off 25%, that means that we are leaving on 75% or .75
