Question

Hello I will need the answer for both of these thank you it’s not 2 problems it’s just asking to questions about one problem

Answer 1

Part 1: Solving for the amount of discount

Convert 50% into decimal by dividing it by 100%

`50\%/100\%=0.5`

Multiply 0.5 to the original price, to get the amount of discount

`\$59.58*0.5=\$29.79`

Therefore, the amount of discount is equal to $29.79.

Part 2: Solving for sale price.

Since we already have the amount of discount, subtract the discount to the original price, to get the sale price. That is

`\$59.58-\$29.79=\$29.79`

Therefore, the sale price is $29.79.
