what is %30 off $159.99. A bike is $159.99 & %30 off
First we take 30% of 159.99
When we take a percentage of some number, we multiply the two numbers together.
As a number, 30% = 0.30 (= 30/100 = 30%)
So 30% of 159.99 = 0.30 * 159.99
= 3 * 15.999 = 15.9909 * 3 = 45 + 0.999 * 3 = 15 + 2.997 = 17.997
So, 30% off equals $17.997
Now this is a sale in a store, and when rounding off figures reduced for a sales discount, some stores will round up the discount, other stores will round down the discount.
If rounded down the store discount is $17.99
If rounded up, the store discount is $18.00
So, if rounded down the sales price is $159.99 - $17.99 = $142.00
And, if rounded up, the sales price is $159.99 - $18.00 = $141.99
Personally, I think retailers would round down their discount, which would reduce the discount, but hey, you’re already getting money off, don’t be greedy!
So, answer is: $142.00
