Question

Jimmy bought a pair of jeans on sale for 30% off the regular price of $38.00. What was the discount he received at the cash register and what was the sale price (not including tax)?

Answer 1

Answer: He received a discount of $11.40.

Explanation:

To answer this problem we can look at the discount he was given, in this case, it would be 30%.

We can then turn that 30% into a decimal by dividing it by 100.

30/100

This gives us 0.3

After knowing this, we simply multiply 0.3 by the original price of $38.00 and it gives us a discount of $11.40.
