Question

Cece works at a dress shop and needs to calculate the discounts for dresses on sale using the formula d=(p−c)÷2, where d is the discount, p is the original price, and c is the store's cost for the dress. If the store's cost for a dress is $50 and the original price of the dress is $120, what is the discount on the dress?

Answer 1

Answer:

$35

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula provided, d=(p−c)÷2 (where d is the discount, p is the original price, and c is the store's cost for the dress.) we can determine the discount.

The original price is 120,

d=(120−c)÷2

The store's cost is 50,

d=(120−50)÷2

So we subtract 120 and 50 to get

d=(70)÷2

70 divide by two is

d= 35

The discount is $35
