Question

In a sale, the price of a computer is reduced from $1,280 to $1,030. Find the rate of the discount and the amount of the discount. Round the discount rate to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

Answer 1

C 19.5 250$

Explanation:

Answer 2

Rate of discount = (old price - new price)/old price x 100 = (1280 - 1030)/1280 x 100 = 250/1280 x 100 = 19.5%

Amount of discount = old price - new price = $1,280 - $1,030 = $250
