Answer 2

Answer:

The cost price of a bag is $ $26.68$.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Discount = $8$%

          Original price of the bag = $$29$

To find : How much did the bag cost after the discount?

Solution :

• It is given that the discount = $8$%

          Original price of the bag = $$29$

• We have to find the cost price of the bag after discount.
• To find the cost price of the bag after discount, we have to calculate the discount of $8$% of original price and then subtract discount price from the original price.

•       Now,

           Discount price = $8$% of $$29$

                                 = $\frac{8}{100} *29$

                                  = $\frac{232}{100}$

                                  = $$2.32$    

• Now, subtract this discounted price from the original price to the cost price of a bag.

                   ∴ Cost price of a bag =  $29-2.32$

                                                   =$ $26.68$    

• ∴  The cost price of a bag is $ $26.68$.
