A bookstore sells a novel for $4.50. The percent discount is 25%. Find the novel's sale

price. Round to nearest cent if necessary.

The answer is $3.38. To get this answer you take the $4.50 and subtract 25 percent since it is a discount. The discount for the book is $1.125. So $4.50 minus $1.125 is $3.375. We need to round to the nearest cent. Since the number after 7 is 5 or greater, we round up to the nearest cent. So $3.38 is the new cost of the book after the 25 % discount.

3.38

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the % of something simply turn 25% to a decimal (.25) then times it by the number you want. 25 * 4.50 = 1.12 4.5-1.12=3.38
