Question

tomas wants to buy anew baseball bat. The one he likes cost $130, but is on sale for $104.What is the percent of the discount tomas will get if he buys the bat?

Answer 1

Tomas will get 20% discount if he buys the bat.

Explanation:

The marked price of the baseball bat = $130

The selling price of the baseball bat = $104

Now, the Discounted amount = Marked Price - Selling Price

= $130 - $104 = $26

So, the total discount on the baseball bat = $26

Also, the discount percentage is always applied on the marked price.

SO, let us assume the discount percentage on MP = k%

⇒ k % of $130 = $26

`\implies (k)/(100)  * 130 =  26\\\implies k = 26 * (100)/(130) = 20`

or, k = 20%

So, the discount percentage on the marked price = 20%

Hence, Tomas will get 20% discount if he buys the bat.
