Question

as a last-minute deal Don and Mary booked a 7 day cruise for a total of $670 if the normal price for a couple is $1340, what discount percent did Don and Mary recieve?​

Answer 1

Don and Mary received a discount of 50%.

Explanation:

Initially, we use a rule of three to find the percentage of the initial price that they paid.

The discount is 100% subtracted by the percentage they paid.

Percentage they paid:

The normal price for a couple is $1340, which is 100%.

They paid $670, which is x%. We have to find x.

$1340 - 100%

$670 - x%

`1340x = 100*670`

`x = (100*670)/(1340)`

`x = 50`

They paid 50% of the original price.

What discount percent did Don and Mary recieve?​

100 - 50% = 50%

Don and Mary received a discount of 50%.
