To calculate the price of the PS5 after a 15% discount, follow these steps:
-
Calculate the discount amount: \[ \text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 499.99 \times 0.15 \] \[ \text{Discount} = 499.99 \times 0.15 = 74.9985 \approx 75.00 \text{ (rounded to the nearest cent)} \]
-
Subtract the discount from the original price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 499.99 - 75.00 \] \[ \text{Sale Price} = 424.99 \]
So, the cost of the PS5 after the discount will be $424.99.
The correct answer is: $424.99
