Q. Madison went shopping for a new pair of pants because of a sale. The store was offering a 25% discount. If the price on the tag was $49, what would be the price after the discount but before tax, to the nearest dollar and cent?Answer: $
Calculate Discount: First, we need to calculate the amount of the discount on the pants. The discount is 25% of the original price.Calculation: $49×0.25=$12.25Discount = $12.25
Find Sale Price: Next, we subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price before tax.Calculation: $49 - $12.25 = $36.75Sale price before tax = $36.75
Round Sale Price: Since we need to round the sale price to the nearest dollar and cent, we observe that $36.75 is already to the nearest cent.Rounded sale price before tax = $36.75
