Q. Yaritza has a loyalty card good for a 14% 14 \% discount at her local hardware store. What number should she multiply the prices on the tags by to find the price she would have to pay, before tax, in one step?\newlineAnswer:
  1. Calculate Discount Percentage: Yaritza wants to find the multiplier that reflects a 14%14\% discount. To calculate the price after the discount, we subtract the discount percentage from 100%100\%. \newline100%−14%=86%100\% - 14\% = 86\%\newlineTo use this as a multiplier, we convert the percentage to a decimal.\newline86%86\% as a decimal is 0.860.86.
  2. Convert Percentage to Decimal: Yaritza should multiply the prices on the tags by 0.860.86 to find the price she would have to pay before tax.
