Question
Omar went shopping for a new video game because of a sale.
The price on the tag was 25.90 before tax.
Find the percent discount.
Solution
Sure, here are the steps to find the percent discount:
-
First, find the amount of the discount by subtracting the sale price from the original price. So, 25.90 = 11.10.
-
Next, to find the percent discount, divide the amount of the discount by the original price. So, 37 = 0.3.
-
Finally, to convert this decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100. So, 0.3 x 100 = 30%.
Therefore, Omar received a 30% discount on the video game.
