Answer:
Ice cream after price reduction costs $ 2.5
Explanation:
Because to know the value of the price to be discounted we must know how much 17% is equivalent, we find out that value with a simple three rule like that;
100% --> $ 2.99
17% ---> X
then we find the value of X;
17 × 2.99 = 100 × X
[tex]\frac{17* 2.99}{100}[/tex]= X
0.5083 = X (this is the value to be discounted)
so we subtract this from the value before reduction
2.99 - 0.5083 = 2.5
So we have the ice cream after reducing the price by 17%, it will cost $ 2.5
