Question

1. a furniture store had a chair that cost $50. after a few months the owner took 11 percent off the price. how much is the chair now?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the discount amount

The discount is 11% of $50. To find 11% of 50, we use the formula: $Discount = \text{Percentage} \times \text{Original Price}$. So, $Discount = 0.11 \times 50 = 5.5$.

Step2: Subtract discount from original price

The new price is the original price minus the discount. So, $New\ Price = 50 - 5.5 = 44.5$.

Answer:

The chair now costs $44.5.
