Problema Solution
Michael bought a new hat at the store when they were having a 5% off sale. If the regular price of the hat was $42, how much did Michael pay with the discount?
Answer provided by our tutors
the discount = 5% of the regular price
the discount = 0.05*42
the new price = the regular price - the discount
the new price = 42 - 0.05*42
the new price = 42(1 - 0.05)
the new price = 42*0.95
the new price = $39.9
With the discount Michael paid $39.9.
