Question

A taco shop is offering a 20% discount on their nacho plate. The original cost of the nacho plate is $15. After applying the discount, how much would the nacho plate cost?

$10
$12
$5
$3

Answer 1

3$

Explanation:

To find percentage on a discount like this all you have to do is multiply the pre-discount number by your discount percentage.

So all you have to do is:

15 x 0.20

which gives you an answer of 3.

Thus the post-discount amount is $3.
