Question

A store is offering a 20% discount on n all sales over $50. If you purchase a shirt and a pair of jeans for $62.50, what is the amount of the discount you would receive?

Answer 1

$12.50

Explanation:

20% = 0.2

50 < 62.50

So, 62.50 qualifies for a discount. Now all you need to do is 62.50 times 0.2 to get 12.50. If you are looking for the price you pay, the answer would be $50. But, the discount would be $12.50. I hope this helps!
