Answer:
$42.49
Step-by-step explanation:
s=p−(p×d)
Where:
s
is the sales price: what we are solving for in this problem
p
is the original price: $49.99 for this problem
d
is the discount percent: 15% for this problem. "Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 15% can be written as
15/100. Substituting and calculating
s gives: s =$49.99-($49.99×1510)
s=$49.99−$749.8100
s=$49.99−$7.4985 s=$42.4915 s=$42.49
rounded to the nearest cent.
The sales price of the video game is $42.49
