Question

DO THE MATH: Groceries Galore is offering baby formula at the sale price of

$12.00 per can, a discount from the regular price of $20.00 per can.
How much is the percentage discount on this sale?
60%
6%
40%
4%

Answer 1

The discount amount for the baby formula is $20.00 - $12.00 = $8.00.
To find the percentage discount:
Discount percentage = (Discount amount ÷ Regular price) x 100%
Discount percentage = ($8.00 ÷ $20.00) x 100%
Discount percentage = 0.4 x 100%
Discount percentage = 40%
Therefore, the percentage discount for the baby formula sale is 40%.
