Question

Camden has a loyalty card good for a 17% discount at his local hardware store. What number should he multiply the prices on the tags by to find the price he would have to pay, before tax, in one step?

Answer 1

Solution,

Assume That The Price is x

When Will Put It in Equation,

`\frak{ \bigstar}{ \rm{ {We \: Will \: Get,}}}`

• 
  `{ \longmapsto{ \sf{x-17 \% \: of x =}}}`
• 
  `{ \longmapsto { \sf{x-0.17x}}}`
• 0.83

Hence, Required Price is “0.83”

Answer 2

• 0.83

Explanation:

Let the price is x.

With 17% discount it becomes:

• x - 17% of x =
• x - 0.17x =
• 0.83x

The number we need is 0.83
