Question

dina called her friend to tell her that she saved 30% on her new skirt at a discount store. Her friend told her that she could have gotten a better deal at a different store that was advertising 1/3 off of all clothing. If the original price of Dima's skirt was $54, how much more could she have saved at the store her friend suggested

Answer 1

She could have saved 1.8 more dollars.

Explanation:

30% is the same as 0.3. 0.3 times 54$ is 16.2$. 1/3 times 54$ is 18$. 18$ - 16.2$ is 1.8$.
