Question

A dress was reduced from $180 to $162.
Express the discount as a % of the original price.

Answer 1

Answer: The original price was discounted by 10%

Explanation:

180-162 = 0.1

1-0.1= 0.9

0.9 * 100= 90%

100% -10%= 90%

90% * 180= 162

Answer 2

Answer: 90%

Explanation:

When 180 is multiplied by 0.90, representing 90%, you get 162 :) So the item was discounted by 10% and is now 90% of it's initial amount
