Question

If a customer receives a 35% discount on a jacket that cost $80, how much does the

customer pay for the jacket? Let's say that this jacket was purchased on tax free
week-end which means that no sales tax was collected that week-end on all
purchases?
a) $28
b) $52
c) $108

Answer 1

B) $52

Explanation:

The equation would be:

original - original(percentage in decimal form)

80 - 80(0.35) = x

Then solve it:

80 - 28 = x

52 = x
