Question

Johnny wants to buy a box of donuts the donuts normally cost 12$ but they are on sale for 10% off what is the sale price for the donuts?

Answer 1

The sale price for the donuts is $10.8

Explanation:

Normal cost of donuts = N = $12

Now, there is a 10% discount so, we have to find what the price will be after subtracting 10% of the price.

This just comes to be 90% of the original price,

i.e. 10% discount means that the product is now sold at 90% of its original value.

Hence,

Sale Price = S = (90%)(Normal cost of donuts)

S = (0.9)(12)

S = 10.8

S = $10.8
