Question

The original price of a table sold in an electronics store was $308. Members of the electronics store can purchase the tablet at a lower price of $246.40. Use proportion to find the percent (%) of discount for members.

Answer 1

It’s 20% because ik it is

Answer 2

Answer: 20% discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to set up a proportion to figure out how much percent discount they have.

We can do that by taking the price the customer pays and dividing that by the original price.

So, 246.4/308.

This gives us .8 or 80%, but that is not the answer.

They are paying 80% meaning to find the discount we would subtract 80% from 100% and get 20%.
