Problema Solution
4. Ziam is considering an offer to perform his own songs on a CD to be titled “Waiting There.” In the past, he has written but not performed his music. If Ziam’s royalty is 0.12 of the suggested retail price of $15.00, but 0.25 of the retail price is deducted for packaging before Ziam’s royalty is calculated, how much will he receive for sale of the CD?

Since $0.25 is deduced of the $15.00 the new retail price is: 15.00 - 0.25 = $14.75
12% of 14.75 or 0.12*14.75 = $1.77 per CD sold
He will receive $1.77 per CD solved.
