Explanation:


\underline{ \underline{ \large{ \tt{ \: G \: I \: V \: E \: N}}}} :

  • Marked price ( MP ) = $ 50
  • Discount % ( Dis % ) = 30 %


\underline{ \underline{ \large{ \tt{ T \: O \: \: F \: I \: N \: D}}}} :

  • Discount amount = ?


\underline{ \underline{ \large{ \tt{S \: O \: L \: U \: T \: I \: O \: N}}}} :


\boxed{ \sf{Discount \: amount = Dis\% \: of \:MP}}

Plug the known values :


\large{ \tt{30\% \: of \: 50}}

Convert 30% to fraction. For that divide 30 by 100 and remove the percentage symbol.


\large{ \tt{ (30)/(100) * 50}}


\large{ \tt{ \bold{ \$ \: 15}}}


\large{ \underline{ \pink {\boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{Our \: final \: answer : \boxed{ \underline{ \bold{ \tt{ \bold{ \$ \: 15}}}}}}}}}}}

Hope I helped ! ♡

Have a wonderful day! ツ
