Question

The bagel shop is having a 15% off sale on all items. If the bagel sandwich you order normally costs $3.80, how much money will you save with this discount

Answer 1

For this case we have the total price given of 3.80 and we want to analyze the 15% off and we can create the following proportion:

`(3.80)/(100)=(x)/(100-15)`

And solving for x we got:

`x=85\cdot(3.80)/(100)=3.23`

And the final price would be 3.23$ after the discount.
