Question

Find the discount.

regular price = $100; discount rate = 35%



A.
$350


B.
$35


C.
$3.50


D.
$65

Answer 1

`100\cdot35\%=100\cdot0.35=\$35`

Answer 2

As the amount is $100 dollars, you will have to find what 35% of this is. The best way to do this is to divide both 100 and 35 by ten, giving you ten and 3.5. AS 10 is 10% of 100, you should then multiply then, by three and half, therefore, giving you 35- meaning the discount is $35 dollars. Hope this helps
