Question

With a coupon, a pair of shoes that normally costs $90 is only $72. Find the COP between $90 and $72.

Answer 1

The discount rate operated by the coupon is 20%.

Explanation:

Since the pair of shoes normally sells for $ 90, but through the application of a discount coupon it sells for $ 72, to determine the discount percentage made by this coupon it is necessary to perform the following calculation:

90 = 100

72 = X

(72 x 100) / 90 = X

7,200 = 90 = X

80 = X

100 - 80 = 20

Thus, the discount operated by the coupon is 20%.
