Answered by Ms. Sue
No.

What is 1/3 of 45.75?

Subtract that from the regular price.

I still GET $30.65
Answered by Ms. Sue
(1/3) * 45.75 = 45.75/3 = 15.25

45.75 - 15.25 = 30.50

my teacher told me to use .33
Answered by Ms. Sue
Using the fraction is more accurate.

If you want to use a decimal, use 0.3333333

That will give you about the same result as the fraction.
