Question

Larry and Donna bought a sofa at the sale price of $1,344. The original price of the sofa was $1,920. Find the discount rate

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: 30% discount

Answer 2

30% discount

Explanation:

To find the percent discount write a proportion.

`(1344)/(1920)=(x)/(100)`

Cross multiply numerator with denominator of each fraction to solve for x.

1344(100) = 1920(x)

134400 = 1920x

70 = x

This means you pay 70% of the price. The discount was 30%.
