Given:
Original price of a blouse = $21.99
Sale = 25% off
To find:
The cost of blouse during the same before tax.
Solution:
Since Shelly's Boutique had a Labor Day sale featuring 25% off any item. It means price of each item in sale is 25% less than the original price.
[tex]\text{Price of blouse during sale}=21.99-25\%\text{ of } 21.99[/tex]
[tex]\text{Price of blouse during sale}=21.99-\dfrac{25}{100}\times 21.99[/tex]
[tex]\text{Price of blouse during sale}=21.99-0.25\times 21.99[/tex]
[tex]\text{Price of blouse during sale}=21.99-5.4975[/tex]
[tex]\text{Price of blouse during sale}=16.4925[/tex]
Approximate the value to the nearest cent (2 decimal places).
[tex]\text{Price of blouse during sale}\approx 16.49[/tex]
Therefore, the cost of blouse during sale is $16.49.
