Question

A jacket originally costs $70. Wilson bought it yesterday at 30% off. How much was his discount?

Answer 1

$21

Explanation:

To find the discounted price, we simply multiply the original amount to the discount percentage.

Let's break down our values.

Original Price = $70

Discount = 30% or 0.30

So we now multiply the Original Price to the discount.

70 x 0.30 = $21

Now to find how much the jacket cost after the discount, we simply subtract the original price to the discount.

70 - 21 = $49

The discounted price of the jacket is $49.
