Answer 1

Answer:

14.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Cost of a notebook = $19

Cost of a notebook after the school season :-

= 24% lesser than it's usual price

Let us first see how much it's 24% is :-

$\color{olive} = \color{black}\frac{24}{100} \times 19$

$\color{olive} = \color{black} \frac{24 \times 19}{100}$

$\color{olive} = \: \color{black}\frac{456}{100}$

$\color{hotpink} = 4.56$

Cost of the notebook now :-

$= 19 - 4.56$

$\color{hotpink} = 14.44$

Therefore the cost of the notebook now is $14.44 .
