Question

A 15% discount saves you $5 off the price of an electronic game. How much do you save off the regular price if the discount is raised to 45%? Explain your reasoning

Answer 1

You save $15 because 15% is 1/3 of 45% so you multiply the 15% quantity by 3 to get the amount of 45%, and 5 x 3 = 15.
Hope this helps!
