Question

I found a place that will give me 20% discount if I spend over $50.My bill $75.How much money will I save? What is my final bill after the savings?

Answer 1

You will save: $15

Total cost: $60

Explanation:

First turn the percent into a decimal.

To do so move the . over to the left twice.

20% - .20

Now multiply 75 by .20

75 x .20 = 15

So you will save $15

Now subtract 15 from 75

75 - 15 = 60
