float discount = 0.15;
int price = 100;
float finalPrice = price - (price * discount);
System.out.println(finalPrice);Answer and explanation
Correct answer
A. Initialize discount with a float
Why
By initializing 'discount' with a float value (e.g., 0.15f), you avoid truncating the decimal part, thus calculating 'finalPrice' correctly.
