Question

A cafe offers senior citizens a 15% discount off its regular price of 8.95 for the dinner buffet. How much of a discounts doesn’t a senior citizen receive off the 8.95 price

Answer 1

Multiply the cost of the meal by 0.15 ( 15% as a decimal).

8.95 x 0.15 = 1.34

The amount of the discount would be $1.34

Extra:

If you need to find out how much a senior citizen pays, you would subtract the amount of the discount from the original price:

8.95 - 1.34 = $7.61
