My 40 year old mom could not help me nor could my 24 year old bro

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

If something is discounted by 40% , what percent is left?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60%

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Yep, so you will pay 60% of the original price of $65

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60 as a decimal is 0.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i need to turn that into a whole number right?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

60% = 0.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i will have to pay 39 dollars

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

there is still a 5% tax on that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So turn 5% into a whole number than add that to 39?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Yes, recall 5% = 0.05

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 39.05

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

find 5% of $39 and add that on to $39

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40.95 rounded $41.00

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):
