Question

Macy bought a swimsuit online. Itn cost 24 dollars plus 12% shipping and handling. What was the total cost?

Answer 1

26.88 dollars

Explanation:

The way I do it is to take 12% and make it into a decimal. When changing a percent to a decimal, you need to move the decimal point from the right to the left by 2 place values. so 12% becomes 0.12. 0.12 multiplied by 24 gives you 12% of 24 which is 2.88. then you just add that amount to 24 to get 26.88 dollars.

Answer 2

26.88

Explanation:

2.88 is the 12% so 24+2.88
