Question

The $199.99 digital camera Anne purchased was on sale for 15% off. What amount did Anne get off the price?

Answer 1

To calculate the discount amount Anne received on the digital camera, you can multiply the original price by the percentage discount.

The original price of the camera is $199.99, and the discount is 15%.

First, convert the percentage to a decimal:
\[
15\% = 0.15
\]

Now, multiply the original price by the decimal:
\[
\text{Discount} = 199.99 \times 0.15
\]

Calculating that,
\[
\text{Discount} = 29.9985
\]

Rounding to two decimal places, the amount Anne got off the price is:
\[
\text{Discount} \approx 30.00
\]

Thus, the amount Anne got off the price is **$30.00**.
