Best Buy is currently selling the latest model of the iPad Pro for $549.99. Since you are an employee there, you
receive a 5% discount. How much will the iPad Pro cost
you if you use your employee discount (before taxes).

$522.49

Step-by-step explanation: 549.99*.05=27.50 (discount)

549.99-27.50=$522.49

$522.49

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the discount amount. You can do this by multiplying the original cost by the discount amount. A little trick for remembering to multiply instead of divide is to think "five percent of the original amount"

5% = 0.05

549.99 ⋅ 0.05 = 27.4995

That means the discount amount is $27.50

Subtract the discount amount from the original price

$549.99 - $27.50 = $522.49

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.
