Answer 1

40 % off

Explanation:

First you are going to 1.30, then divided that by 0.80

Answer 2

33%

Step-by-step explanation:In the question it is already given that the actual cost of each notebook is $1.20. For the weekend, the notebooks would sold at a discounted rate of $0.80

The amount of discount during the weekend = (1.20 - 0.80) dollars

= 0.40 dollars

So the amount of discount given during the weekend is $0.40

Now we need to find the percentage of discount given during the weekend.

Then

Percentage of discount during the weekend = (0.40/1.20) * 100

= 0.33 * 100

= 33

Then the percentage of discount given is 33%.
