Question

A scooter that originally cost $50 is on sale for 10 percent off. Complete the steps to solve the problem. Step 1: Find the amount of the discount ($50.00)(0.10) = $ Step 2: Subtract the discount from the original amount to find the sale price. $

Answer 1

$50.00 * 10 = $5.00

$50.00 - $5.00 = $45.00

Answer 2

Original cost of the scooter = $50

Sale percentage = 10%

Step 1 : Find the amount of the discount

The amount of the discount = 10% of 50

= 0.1 × 50

= $5

Step 2: Find the sale price.

Sale Price = Original amount of the scooter - Discount amount

⇒ Sale Price = 50 - 5

= 45

Therefore, the sale price of the scooter = $45
