Web Application Chapter 3 page 91

Vic and Lee Evans are in the process of moving. The real estate agent from Century 21 told them that discounts on certain items and services could be found on the Century 21 Web site, www.century21.com. Upon visiting www.century21.com/ctg/cgi-bin/Century21, the Evans found discounts for Budget Truck Rental. Vic and Lee had originally planned on paying $600.00 for truck rental and $112.00 for boxes and moving supplies.

1. Based on the percent of discount found on the Web site, what will the Evans end up paying for the truck rental? Remember to change percents to decimals before multiplying.

2. What dollar amount will the couple save on boxes and moving supplies by using the discount found on the Web site?

Note: Use the basic percent formula to set up the problems. The current discounts given on the Web site are to be used to answer these questions. Be sure to list the date of the Web site in your answers, so that discounts can be verified.
