Milk is on sale for 40% off when it is normally $3.75 per gallon. How much will a gallon of milk cost?

The discounted price for milk is $____(Round to the nearest cent.)

Sagot :

Answer:

$2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to set up a proportion to show how much the cost of milk is when discounted per gallon. 0% off, the milk would be $3.75. 40% off, the milk would be x. Now I flipped the percents because that is how much you are actually paying.

Proportion would look something like this:

3.75/100 = x/60

solve for x:

225 = 100x

x= 2.25
