Cameron went shopping for a new phone because of a sale. The store was offering a 15% discount. If the price on the tag was $30, what would be the price after the discount but before tax, to the nearest dollar and cent?

Answer 1

First, we need to find 15% of $30.

15% of $30 is (15/100) x $30 = $4.50

Now, subtract the discount from the original price:

$30 - $4.50 = $25.50

Therefore, the price after the discount but before tax would be $25.50.
