✅Thanks so much for watching! ✌✌✌
⚠IMPORTANT NOTES WHEN WORKING WITH DISCOUNTS AND SALE PRICES⚠
✅This video used US currency in the examples, but discounts and sale prices can be calculated using this method with other currencies as well.
✅Money always goes to the hundredths place when we have change. For example, #1 gives us an answer of 10.2 when we multiply 68 x 0.15. I wrote the discount as $10.20 because money goes to the hundredths place when we have change. $10.2 does NOT mean $10 and 2 cents, it means $10 and 20 cents, so we write it as $10.20. On the other hand, if you get a decimal that goes past the hundredths place, for example 15.83845, then it needs to be rounded to the hundredths place. That decimal would round to $15.84. Something to keep in mind.

For an easier explanation:

1. Covert the percentage to a decimal form by moving the decimal to the left twice.

2. multiply them

3 with the multiplication answer, minus it from the original price.

YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER EVER MY TEACHERS ARE BAD BUT YOU ARE SO GOOD I LEARNED ALL SUBJECTS FOR MY FINALS IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES!! That's literally how long it takes my teacher to teach one lesson... Good thing you exist because if not, I would fail math and go to summer school OR not make it to high school!!
