Question

A skateboard is on a 25% discount. The original price was 120$.

Find the discount and explain how.

Answer 1

new price = $90

method #1 -

25% = 0.25

0.25(120) = 30

120 - 30 = 90

method #2 -

25 = 1/4 of 100

120 ÷ 4 = 30

120 - 30 = 90

Answer 2

New price = 90 dollars

Explanation:

25% of 120 = 30

Price is reduced 25% from 120 so,

120 - 30 = 90

Amount of discount = 30
