Question

A tablet, originally selling for $709, is on sale for 20% off What is the discount on the tablet?

Answer 1

Let:

Op = Original price = $709

Dp = Discount on the table

a = Discount = 20% = 0.2

The discount on the table will be:

`\begin{gathered} Dp=Op\cdot a \\ Dp=709\cdot0.2 \\ Dp=141.8 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

The discount on the price of the tablet is $141.8

The sale price Sp, will be given by:

`\begin{gathered} Sp=Op-Dp \\ Sp=709-141.8 \\ Sp=567.2 \end{gathered}`

The sale price is $567.2
