Henry went shopping for a new pair of pants because of a sale. The store was offering a 10% discount. If the price on the tag was $21, what would be the price after the discount but before tax, to the nearest dollar and cent?

1 answer

The price after the discount can be calculated by subtracting 10% of the original price from the original price:

10% of $21 = $21 * 0.10 = $2.10

Price after discount = $21 - $2.10 = $18.90

Therefore, the price after the discount but before tax would be $18.90.
