Expressing Prices
Newspaper ads for food stores often report prices in both dollars and cents. To compare prices we must be able to express prices in both cents and dollars.
Express $0.69 in cents. Express 79¢ in dollars.$0.69 � 69¢ 79¢ � $0.79
Some prices are quoted in fractions of a cent, such as $1.015. To express this amount in cents, move the decimal point two places to the right.
$1.015 � 101.5¢
EXAMPLE
Directions Express these prices in dollars and cents. It is important to use the correct symbol in the price.

Reading Prices
It is not unsual to see food prices written without the dollar sign, $, or the cents sign, ¢. Most of the time it is easy to understand what the price is.
A. 67¢ B. $0.67 C. .67 All three prices mean sixty-seven cents.
However, every so often a mistake is made and a price is listed incorrectly. In the following list, which price is not the same value as the other three?
A. 259¢ B. $2.59 C. $259 D. 259 E. 2.59
Price C is not the same. Price C represents two hundred fifty-nine dollars.
Prices A, B, D and E all represent two dollars and fifty-nine cents.

According to the National Institutes of Health, the average number of
calories spent per hour by a 150-pound person who rides a bicycle 6 miles
per hour is 240 calories. The calories spent in a particular activity vary in
proportion to one’s body weight. For example, a 100-pound person burns�13
� fewer calories, and a 200-pound person, burns �13
� more calories.
Find the average number of calories burned by a 100-pound person and a
200-pound person who ride bikes at 6 mph for one hour. Round your
answer to the nearest calorie.
100-pound personThink: �
13

240 calories per hour � 67% � 240 � 0.67 � 160.8 � 161 cals./hr
200-pound personThink: �

240 calories per hour � 133% � 240 � 1.33 � 319.2 � 319 cals./hr

Arlene is working in the machine shop and needs both hands to do her work.She tries to do as much mental math as she can to keep her hands free fromusing a calculator. Help her determine which of the following problems is acalculator problem and which is a good mental math problem.
Problem 1 20% of 40� Problem 2 18% of 4.351�
This is a good mental math problem. This is a good calculator problem.First recall that 20% means 20 � 100.Multiply 20 times 40. That equals 800.Then divide 800 by 100. That equals 8.
20% of 40� is 8�
EXAMPLE
Directions Determine if these are better mental math problems or calculatorproblems. If it is a mental math problem, solve it. If it is better performed on acalculator, do not solve it. Round to the nearest cent.
