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

1 answer

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.
