A pair of pants with a marked price of $35.00 has a discount of 20%. How much is the discount? Can someone help me learn to do problems like this please?
Answers
when you see a "%" you need to ask " a percent of what"?
Here, it's a percent of the original prize, so the discount is 20% of the original prize, that is 20% of 35.
20% is also 20/100 or 1/5, so we can calculate this like this:
so the discount is 7 dollars.
