Question

A store is offering a 20% discount on 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

Discount = 20% of the product price
Discount = 20/100 × $62.50
Discount = $12.5

Answer 2

20% = 0.20

62.50 x 0.20 = 12.50

the discount would be $12.50
