Question

Avery has a loyalty card good for a discount at her local pharmacy. The item she wants to buy is priced at $6, before discount and tax. After the discount, and before tax, the price is $5.04. Find the percent discount.

Answer 1

16%

Explanation:

$6 divided by $5.04 = 0.84

0.84 x 100 = 84%

100 - 84 = 16

6 - 5.04 = 0.96

0.96 divided by 6 = 0.16

0.16 x 100 = 16

Answer 2

16% is the answer.
