Question

Find the selling price of a $15.25 pair of Marvel socks with a18% discount.Round to the nearest cent when necessary.

Answer 1

To find the price of these socks you will have to find the 18% of the total price first:

$18\text{percent}=\frac{price\times18}{100}=\frac{15.25\times18}{100}=\frac{274.5}{100}=2.745$

Then, you just have to substract this amount to the total price:

$15.25-2.745=12.505$

Rounded to the nearest tenth is: $12.5
