Question

Julie gets a 20% discount on all of the in the clothing store where works. If she buys a shirt that regularly costs $45.00, how much money will she save with her employee discount

Answer 1

The money she saved with her employee discount is $ 9 .

Explanation:

Given as :

The market price of shirt which Julie bought = $ 45.00

The discount on the market price = 20 %

Let The selling price of shirt = $ x

Now,

Discount % =
`((\textrm Market price - \textrm Selling price)/(\textrm Market price))` × 100

Or, 20 =
`((\textrm 45 - \textrm Selling price)/(\textrm 45))` ×100

Or, 20 × 45 = ( 45 - Selling price ) ×100

Or,
`(20* 45)/(100)` = ( 45 - Selling price )

or, 9 = ( 45 - Selling price )

So , Selling price = $ 45 - $ 9

∴ Selling price = $ 36

So, saving amount with discount = $ 9

Hence , The money she saved with her employee discount is $ 9 . Answer
