Question

Tomas wants to buy a new baseball bat. The one he likes costs $130, but it is on sale for $104. What is the percent of the discount Tomas will get if he buys the bat?

Answer 1

Percent of the discount = 20%

Explanation:

Actual price of the bat = $130

On sale price = $104

Amount saved = $130-$104 = $26

Percent of the discount = ($26/130)*100 = 20%

Answer 2

130-104=26
26/130=0.2
0.2=20%
Tomas will get a 20% discount if he buys the bat.
