Question

Midnight Margaret’s school notebooks are onsale this month for 20% off regular prices. If apack of 5 notebooks normally costs $10, howmuch do you save per notebook?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Discount = 20%

The cost of 5 notebooks = $10

The cost of 1 notebook before applying discount = $10/5 = $2

Discount = $10 × 20% = 10 × 0.20

Discount = $2

The sales price of the 5 notebooks = original price - discount

The sales price of the 5 notebooks = $10 - $2

The sales price of the 5 notebooks = $8

The sales price of 1 notebook = $8/5

The sales price of 1 notebook = $1.6

The amount saved per notebook = The cost of 1 notebook before applying discount -

$2 -
