Question

Juan went out to eat dinner, and the meal cost $60.00. If Juan received an 18% discount, what was the total value of the discount?

Answer 1

The total value of the discount was $10.80.

Explanation:

Since we are finding the value of the discount, we just need to find 18% of 60.

We can convert 18% into a decimal.

18%=0.18

Multiply.

0.18*60=10.8

The total value of the discount was $10.80.
