Given:
A phone is on sale for 40% off the original price is $550.
Determine the price you will pay.
Solution:
In order to determine the price you will pay, we first take 40% of 550, and then subtract it to 550. To take 40% of 550, we multiply 550 by the decimal value of 40%. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 40/100
= 0.4
= (0.4)($550)
= $220
= $550 - $220
= $330
Final answer:
You will pay $330 for the phone.
