Question

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?

Answer 1

Multiply the percentage (turn to decimal) by the original price to find how much would be taken off.

\(\huge\bf{16.24 \times .2 = ?}\)

Answer 2

3.248

Answer 3

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`.

Answer 4

oh okay

Answer 5

Happy I could help :)

Answer 6

Wait so whats the answer?

Answer 7

Subtract `16.24 - 3.25` to find your answer.

Answer 8

ah okay

Answer 9

so $12.99
