Question

The gift shop at manatee mall was having a clearance sale.Everything was marked down 30%. The original price ofa manatee hat was 18$. What is the clearance price.

Answer 1

The original price of a manatee hat was $18.

Everything was marked down 30% = .30 * 18 => $5.40

For the clearance price = original price - marked down price

= 18 - 5.40

= 12.60

The clearance price of a manatee hat is $12.60.

Answer 2

Answer: $12.60

• Everything was marked down 30%

• The original price was $18

30% written in fraction and decimal form: 30/100 0.30

30%=0.30

0.30x18= $5.40

18-5.40= 12.60

Therefore, the answer is $12.50
