Question

Chester has a coupon for 1/10 off the price of a shirt. If the shirt originally costs $28.70, what discount would chester recieve from using his coupon

Answer 1

Chester would receive a discount of $2.87 on using the coupon.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Original cost of shirt = $28.70

Discount =

`(1)/(10)\text{ of the original price}`

We have to find the discount Chester would receive from using this coupon.

Discount amount =

`=(1)/(10)* \text{Original Price}\\\\=(1)/(10)* 28.70\\\\=2.87`

Thus, Chester would receive a discount of $2.87 on using the coupon.
