During the summer, you had an ice cream cone with your friends almost every day. Your parents bought
a half gallon of ice cream for $4.75. It was on
Sale for 15% off. What was the sale price?

$4.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ice cream is 15% off, that means you will have to subtract 0.15 from 1, since 1 is 100%, and 0.15 is 15%. If you do the math, then you will get 0.85, which translates to 85%. So now that we have found the percentage of the original price that we have to pay, we can do some more advanced calculations. Since we found the 1 - 0.15 = 0.85, we will multiply the original price, which is $4.75, by 0.85. You can do this by hand or by calculator. You will get 4.0375, which is your answer. Since this is about money, you will have to add a $ sign at the beginning, which would be $4.0375. Of course, you can't pay a percentage of a cent, so you would have to round that up to $4.04. In conclusion, the sale price of the half-gallon of ice cream is $4.04.
