Question

Shannon bought a new shirt

for $8.50 at Target. If the original price
was $13.50, what % discount did she
receive?

Answer 1

37%

Explanation:

To find what is the percent of the discount she receive we have to use an formula;

Discount Formula: (Original price - Discounted price) / Original price x 100

Using the formula we can find the answer.

Knowing that;

Original price: 13.50

Discounted price: 8.50

Thus,

13.50 - 8.50 / 13.50 x 100

= 37.037037037

Round - 37%

As a result, Shannon received a 37% discount.

Answer 2

Answer: 38%

Step-by-step explanation: First, we subtract $8.50 from $13.50 to get the discount of $5. Then divide this by the original price to get 0.38 (rounded). Multiply this by 100, and we get 38, which means Shannon received a 38% discount. If this is wrong, it will be 37% because the number I rounded to get 0.38 was originally 0.37037037 repeating.
