so what answer do you get

Answer 6

can u divide it for me

Answer 7

0.69 and now round it to the nearest tenths place

Answer 8

so since the number to the right of 6 is greater than 5 you round up so it would be 7.0

Answer 9

@LifewithJayda10 did that help

Answer 10

you can use the rule of three to simply find the percentage difference, or the discount:
\[ \frac{$24365}{100\%} = \frac{$16820}{x \%} \]
\[ $24365x = $16820 \times 100 \%\]
\[ $24365x = 1682000 \frac{$}{\%} \]
\[ x=\frac{ 1682000 \frac{\cancel{$}}{\%} }{\cancel{$}24365} \]
\[ x \approx 69\% \]
so \( 69 \% \) would be how much the 2nd price is -- thus, to find the discount you do this:
\[ 100\%-69\%=\color{lightskyblue}{31\%} \]
so that would be your answer
