Case Study

Evaluating a Prompt for a Mathematical Task

A user needs to find the final price of a $60 item that has a 15% discount. The user gives the language model the following prompt: 'What should I know about a 15% discount on a $60 item?' The model responds by explaining what a discount is and how percentages work in general, but it does not give the final price. Evaluate the user's prompt. Why was it ineffective for getting a specific numerical answer?
