Question

3) Arjun was shopping for avocados, which were listed $0.90 each. He brought six avocados to the checkout lane, where he learned that there was a sale on avocados. With the discount, he was charged $4.86 before tax. What was the percent discount on each avocado?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total discount = 6×$0.90 - $4.86 = $0.54

discount each = $0.54/6 ≈ $0.09

$0.09/$0.90 = 0.10 = 10%
