Answer 1

To find the sale price of the box of golf balls originally priced at $16.49 with a 30% discount, we can calculate it as follows:

1. Calculate the discount amount:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 16.49 \times 0.30 = 4.947
\]

2. Round the discount to two decimal places:
\[
\text{Discount} \approx 4.95
\]

3. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 16.49 - 4.95 = 11.54
\]

So the exact sale price is **$11.54**.

A reasonable estimate of the discount could have been **$5.00**, leading to an estimated sale price of about **$11.50**.

The two correct answers are:
- $4.95 (approximate discount)
- $11.54 (exact sale price)
