Question

60% discount on $500 sweater

Answer 1

The discount price of the sweater will be, the original price minus the percentage of discount of the original price.

First, express the percentage of discount as a decimal:

60% = 60/100 = 0.6

so:

`\begin{gathered} 500-0.6\cdot500 \\ 500-300=200 \end{gathered}`

The discount price of the sweater is $200
