Question

Anna wants to buy 4 sweaters. The sweater come at a discount rate. If you buy one sweater regular price the other sweater is 40% off. How much percent is off of each sweater?

Answer 1

Discount percentage = 20%

Explanation:

Discount of the sweaters,

→ first sweater = 0%

→ other sweater = 40%

The average discount percent is,

→ (first sweater + other sweater)/2

→ (0% + 40%) ÷ 2

→ (0 + 40)/2

→ 40/2

→ 20% off

Hence, the answer is 20% off.

Answer 2

• 20%

------------------------

If you buy a sweater, the second one is at 40% discount.

Divide the discount between the two to get:

• 40%/2 = 20%

You get a discount of 20% for each sweater.
