Question

Mr.Miller received a 10% discount for paying cash for his new car, which was listed for $4695. How much did he actually pay for the car ?

Answer 1

Ok so 10/100=.1
multiply 4695(.1) to find what 10% of the cars original price is
4695(.1)=469.50
now to find your answer subtract 469.50 from 4695
4695-469.50=$4225.5

Answer 2

An easier way to do this is to multiply the original value by 0.9 to get the answer straight away since taking away 10% leaves you with 90% regardless...
