Question

To find the actual discount, multiply the discount rate by the original amount 'x'. To find the sale price, subtract the actual discount from the original amount 'x' and equate this to given sale price. Solve the equation and find the original amount 'x'.

Answer 1

If the original price =$50

If we take $20 off, we have: $50-20 =$30

Next, taking 25% off of $30, we have:

Final Price = (100%-25%) of $30

=0.75 x 30

Final Price Final 0Price=$22.5

9

If we take $20 off, we have: $90-20 =$70

Next, taking 25% off of $70, we have:

Final Price = (100%-25%) of $70

=0.75 x 70

Final Price =$52.50
