Question

7. A basketball at Big 5 Sporting Goods normally costs $45. It is on sale for 20% off. What is the discount amount on the basketball?

8.What is the cost of the basketball after the discount is subtracted in question 7?

Answer 1

The discount amount on the basketball would be $9.00.

You take the percentage and turn it into a decimal, so 20% becomes 0.20 and then you times it by whatever the original cost is. So, 0.20x45 is 9. Making the discount $9.00 off!

The cost of the basketball after the discount is subtracted is $36.00. Because $45.00-$9.00=$36.00

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

7. 9 dollar discount

8 basketball would be 36 dollars

Explanation:

0.2 × 45 = 9

8. you would just subtract the discount (9 dollars) from 45 dollars to get 36 dollars
