9 .............. 100%
x................ 15%
100x = 15 . 9
100x = 135
x = <u>135</u>
100
x = 1,35
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.
