Question

A shirt that cost 60 dollars is now on sale for 30% off what is the value of the discount

Answer 1

So the value is 18 dollars off which is $42

Explanation:

Well we know 50% of 60 is 30 so we want to multiply 60 x 30 = 180 and the denominator would be 100 so 180/100 now we make 180, 18! which makes 18 dollars off so 60 - 18 = 42
