Question

80% OFF!

John buys a chandelier during the sale. If the original price was $50, how much does John pay?

Answer 1

$10

Explanation:

To find the discount, multiply the discount percentage by the original price.

Discount = discount% * original price

= 80% * 50

`\sf = (80)/(100)*50\\\\\\=8 *5\\\\= \$40`

Now, subtract the discount amount from the original price and now we get the amount paid by John.

Amount paid by John = Original price - discount price

= 50 - 40

= $ 10
