Question

A television originally priced at $2,000 is now 10% off. What is the amount of discount?

Answer 1

$200

2000 * 10% =200

it's asking for the amount discounting not the price after the discount that's why it's 200 and not 1800

Answer 2

$1,800

Explanation:

10 5 of 2,000 is 200 so subtract the 200 from the 2000.
