the same percentage as the mixer

Answer 1

hey

Explanation:

Answer 2

Discount Rate=19.996%

Discount Amount=$23.99

Discounted Price=$96

Explanation:

-we first determine the stated discount amount as a percentage of the regular price:

`d_(\%)=(Discount\ Amount)/(Regular \ Price)\\\\=(8.97)/(44.86)\\\\=0.19996 \ or \ 19.996\%`

#We then use this discount rate to calculate the discount amount given on the vacuum cleaner:

`Discount=d_(\%)* Regular \ Price\\\\=0.19996* 119.99\\\\=\$23.99`

Hence, the vacuum cleaner has a discount of $23.99 or 19.996% of it's regular price.

-The discounted price is calculated as:

`Discounted \ Price=Regular \ Price -Discount \ Amount\\\\=119.99-23.99\\\\=\$96`
