Question

A shirt marked at $50 has a 10% discount. the discount selling price is?

Answer 1

We are given that an item costs $50 and has a discount of 10%. To determine the discount selling price we need to subtract 10% of $50 from the original price.

To determine the 10% of the original price we determine the product of $50 by 10/100, like this:

`50*(10)/(100)=5`

Now we subtract this from the original price:

`50-5=45`

Therefore, the discount selling price is $45.
