Question

You offer senior citizens a 20% discount on their tune-ups at your gas station. Assuming that an average of 50 senior citizens get a tune-up monthly at your station and that the average price of a tune-up before discount is $49.95, how much total discount do you give on an average monthly basis? $499.50

Answer 1

X over 49.5 and 20 over 100 then you cross multiply and you get 100x is equal to 990 you divide 100x and 990 both by 100 and get x and 9.9 then you have 50 seniors a month that you give the discount to so you multiply 9.9 by 50 and get 495 so the total discount you give on an average monthly basis is $495.00 Hope this helped
