Question

The cost of a skateboard is reduced by 25% during a sale. If the original price was $120-
a. Calculate the amount of discount
b. Calculate the new price.

Answer 1

Answer:

New price = 90 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

25% of 120 = 30

Price is reduced 25% from 120 so,

120 - 30 = 90

Amount of discount = 30

Answer 2

Concept:

Discount is the amount offered on something while selling, i.e. price lower than the usual cost price.

Given:

We have,

The original price of a skateboard = $ 120,

The price reduced during sale = 25 %

Find:

We are asked to:

a. Calculate the amount of discount,

b. Calculate the new price.

Solution:

We have,

The original price of a skateboard = $ 120,

The price reduced during sale = 25 %

So,

a. Calculate the amount of discount,

i.e.

Discount =  25 % of $ 120 = $ 30

Now,

b. Calculate the new price of the skateboard,

i.e.

The new price of the skateboard = Original price - discount price

We get,

The new price of the skateboard = 120 - 30 = $ 90

Hence, the amount of discount is $ 30 and the new price of the skateboard is % 90.
