Answer 1

My new golf club was $139.50 but it's last year’s model so I got a 60% discount. What will it cost me?

Answer:

$55.80

Explanation:

$139.50 * 60%

$139.50 - $83.70

= $55.80

Answer 2

Hi there!

To find a discount you need to covert the percentage to a decimal and multiply it by the selling price, then take the product of that and subtract it from the selling price, like so:

60% is 0.6 as a decimal

$139.50 × 0.6 = $83.70

$139.50 - $83.70 = $55.80
