Question

A hardware store offers customers a coupon for $36 off.

The regular price of a power drill is $90.

If a customer uses the coupon, what percent will the customer save?


Your answer is :
%

Answer 1

Answer: The customer saves 40%

Explanation:

Since the customer is saving $36, we want to find out what percent of $90 is $36.

We can do this by dividing 36 by 90

1)
`(36)/(90) = 0.4`

And then multiply the answer by 100% to get a percentage

2) 0.4 x 100% = 40%
