Question

Job natural peanut butter normally cost four dollars today it’s on sale for $3.60 what is the percentage of the discount

Answer 1

We can make an equation that would help this. X will be the discount rate.
4x=3.60
Now, we need to solve the equation to find what X is.
Let's divide each side by 4.
x=.9
So, we know that the item was sold for 90% of what it was before, meaning that it has a 10% discount.
