Question

Towels are 30% off at the Towel Emporium, but for today only. If our total before the discount was $99.30, how much are we saving?

a) $29.79
b) $30.00
c) $69.30
d) $69.00

Answer 1

The amount saved on the towels is $29.79

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the amount saved on the towels, we need to find 30% of the original price. First, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 30/100 = 0.3. Then, multiply the original price by 0.3 to find the amount saved: $99.30 * 0.3 = $29.79

The amount saved is $29.79 (option a).
