60 * 0.4 = 24
60 - 24 = 36
You can also subtract 40% from 100% leaving 60% Jameka paid 0.6 * 60 = 36
Now figure out how much Caitlyn paid.
Let's start with Jameka. She bought a necklace that originally cost $60.00, but it was on sale for 40% off. To calculate the discount, we multiply the original price by the percentage in decimal form: 60.00 * 0.40 = $24.00.
To find the final price Jameka paid, we subtract the discount from the original price: $60.00 - $24.00 = $36.00.
Now let's calculate the final price paid by Caitlyn. She bought a necklace that originally cost $80.00, and it was on sale for 55% off. Following the same calculation method as before, we multiply the original price by the percentage in decimal form: 80.00 * 0.55 = $44.00.
Therefore, Caitlyn paid a final price of $44.00 for her necklace.
Comparing the final prices, we can see that Jameka paid $36.00 while Caitlyn paid $44.00. Hence, Jameka paid the least amount for her necklace.
In summary:
- Jameka paid $36.00.
- Caitlyn paid $44.00.
