Answer:

The sell price of the truck rental after applying the coupon of 20 % is $ 120 .

Explanation:

Given as :

The regular rented price for the truck = $ 150

The discount as off coupon = 20 %

Let The sell price for truck after discount = x

So , Discount % =
$(\textrm market price - \textrm Selling price)/(\textrm market price)$

Or, 20 % =
$(\textrm 150 - \textrm x)/(\textrm 150)$

Or,
(x)/(150) = 1 -
(20)/(100)

Or,
(x)/(150) =
(100 - 20)/(100)

or,
(x)/(150) =
(80)/(100)

∴ x =
(80* 150)/(100)

I.e x = 8 × 15

Or, x = 120

Hence the sell price of the truck rental after applying the coupon of 20 % is $ 120 . Answer
