A video game that usually costs $30.65 is marked down 60%. Kelvin determined that the new price of the game would be $18.39. Look at Kelvin's work and find his error. ($30.65)(0.60) = $18.39

Answer:

Kelvin’s error is that when he got the final result, that was the amount that was marked down. He still needed to find the price after the original price was marked down by that number wich in this case is $18.39. So using one of his steps, 30.65(0.6)=18.39. We can subtract 30.65 (original price) and 18.39 (mark down price). You’d get 11.26 dollars as the final price.
