Question

Basic math equations and calculations play an important role in many jobs tasks. If you were working at a grocery store and your cash register was not automatically calculating the 20% off sale on someone's cereal--how would you solve this issue from the options listed below? If the cereal was normally $2.88, I would... 1 point Take $2.88 and times it by 80 for a sale price of $2.30. Subtract $0.20 for a sale price total of $2.68. Divide 20 from $2.88 for a sale price total of $0.15.

Answer 1

Given :

Price of cereal without off, C = $2.88 .

Percentage off, P = 20% .

To Find :

Price after applying 20% off.

Solution :

Final price = Initial price - 20 % of initial price

$F = 2.88 - 2.88\times \dfrac{20}{100}\\\\F=2.88-0.576\\\\F=\ 2.304$

Therefore, final price after sale is $2.304 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
