Help! The telephone company gives a 20% discount for evening & weekend calls. How much would Linda pay for a $16.24 phone call if she had made it on the weekend?

Multiply the percentage (turn to decimal) by the original price to find how much would be taken off. \(\huge\bf{16.24 \times .2 = ?}\)

OpenStudy (cicilybailey14):

3.248

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Nice now you would subtract that from the original total to find the discount price. \(\huge\bf{16.24 - 3.25 =?}\) We round due to the fact `48` is closest to `50` so it is `3.25`.

OpenStudy (cicilybailey14):

oh okay

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Happy I could help :)

Wait so whats the answer?

Subtract `16.24 - 3.25` to find your answer.
