Question

In a candy store, a $12.00 jar of candy is labeled, "30% off." What is the discount as a dollar amount?

Answer 1

The new total will be $8.40.

Explanation:

The 30% off discount gives you $3.60 off of your purchase.

Answer 2

8.40

Step-by-step explanation: This means the cost of the item to you is $8.4. You will pay $8.4 for a item with original price of $12 when discounted 30%. In this example, if you buy an item at $12 with 30% discount, you will pay 12 - 3.6 = 8.4 dollars.
