macy's is having a one-day 35% off sale. If Kresley bought $124 worth of items, how much money is the DISCOUNT?

35% off means that there is a discount, which implies that the cost price will be reduced

Therefore Kresley will pay 100% - 35% for the item worth $124

65% of the original price = $124

Original price = $124/ 65%

65% = 65/100 =0.65

original price = $124/0.65

original price = $190.77

Since the Discount is 35%

then the discounted price will be 35% the original price ($190.77)

=> 0.35 x 190.77

=> $66.77

The amount discounted is $66.77
