Question

A store is going out of business and marks all prices at 85% off. Is there a proportional relationship between the original price of an item and its

price after the discount? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Yes, there is a proportional relationship:

D = 0.15 × O

Explanation:

O = original price

D = discounted price

85% off means the price is 15% of the original

D = 0.15 × O
