Answer 2

Before, finding the answer. Let's find out on how we can find the answer.

• Here, the cost of hockey stick is $79 and the discount is 20%.
• So, we have to use the formula of :

$\sf Discount = \dfrac{Cost \: of \: Hockey \: Stick}{100} \times discount$

→ Where, we have to multiply the Cost of Hockey Stick and Discount. Then, we have to divide it by 100.

Given :

• Cost of Hockey Stick = $79
• Discount = 20%

To find :

• how much will Steven save

Solution :

$\sf Discount = \dfrac{Cost \: of \: Hockey \: Stick}{100} \times discount$

              $\sf = \dfrac{79}{100} \times 20$

              $\sf = \dfrac{1580}{100}$

              $\sf = 15.8$

∴ Steven will save $15.8.
