Question

Stacy bought a sweater at the sale price of $30. The original cost of the sweater was $50. What percent represents the discount that Stacy received when buying the sweater? *

discount = orignal price - new price divided by oringinal price

50 -30/50

= 20/50

=.40

=40%

Answer 2

50-30=20 50x2=100 so, 30x2=6 and 20x2=40 the new equation will be 100-60=40
