Question

Allison has a loyalty card good for a discount at her local hardware store. The item she wants to buy is priced at $36, before discount and tax. After the discount, and before tax, the price is $30.96. Find the percent discount.

Answer 1

14%

Explanation:

Original price of item = $36

Price after discount = $30.96

Percentage discount = x

To get the percent discount

x = 36 - 30.96/36

x = 5.06/36

x = 0.14

Percentage discount = 0.14 % 100

Percentage discount = 14%
