Answer 1

Answer:

$21.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular price=$72

Let the cost with discount be x

x/72*100=30

x/18*25=30

x/18=30/25

x=6/5*18

x=108/5

x=21.6

She paid $21.6 with discount.

Answer 2

Answer:

$50.40

Step-by-step explanation: First, find the amount of the discount by multiplying the original price of the item by the discount.

$72 x 30% = ?  

Percent means "out of one hundred," so 30% is equivalent to 30/100 which is also equal to 30 (division sign)100.

30 (division sign) 100 = 0.30  

To find the amount of money saved, multiply 0.30 by the original price.

0.30 x $72 = $21.60

To find the final price Gabriela paid, subtract 21.60 from the original price.

$72 - $21.60 = $50.40
