Answer 2

Answer: $4

Explanation:

Ralf is looking for a new baseball cap that his favorite team's logo on it and then finds one that normally sells for $17.99 on sale at 20% off.

We are to find the discount to the nearest cent. This will be:

Selling price= $17.99

Percentage off= 20%

Discount= Percentage off × Selling price

= 20/100 × $17.99

= 0.2 × $17.99

= $3.598

To the nearest cent, it will be

$3.598 = $4

The discount is $4 to the nearest cent.
