Answer 1

Answer: The dollar amount of the discount was 144.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to multiply the regular price of the airline ticket (1,200) by the discount percentage in decimal form (divided by 100)

Mathematically speaking:

1,200 (12/100) = 1,200 (0.12) =$144

The dollar amount of the discount was 144.
