Question

A store has a sale for 15 % off. You decide to buy a $45 jacket.
a) How much money will you save?

b) How much money will you spend on the jacket?

Answer 1

Statements: # A sale is for 15% off.
                   # Jacket will be bought which costs $45.

==========================================
                                                Math Work
a) Jacket if allowed no discount costs $45.
Discount is 15% , then ---- $45 - 15% 

=> $45 - 15/100 = $45 - 3/20 
=> $45 - [(45/20) * 3]
=> $45 - $6.75 
- So, $6.75 will be saved.

b) If, the discount on jacket is $6.75, then --- 

Jacket's cost will be :-
=> $45 - 6.75 = $38.25

=========================

Answer 2

hey mate

here is your answer

given:

the marked price=$45

a)-the discount %=15%

therefore, discount=15% of $45

=>15/100*45

=>$6.75

therefore ,we save $6.75

b)-the net price of the jacket=marked price -discount

=>$45-$6.75

=>$38.25(answer)

therefore,we will spend $38.25 on the jacket
