Answer 1

Answer:

$30

$90

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

    Selling price of belt = $120

     Percentage discount = 25%

Unknown:

Discount = ?

Sale price of the dress  = ?

Solution:

Discount is a reduction in the price of a commodity.

     Discount  = percentage discount x selling price of belt

 Input the parameters and solve;

I.    Discount  = $\frac{25}{100}$ x 120 = $30

 

II. Sale price of the dress;

               = selling price - discount amount

                 = $120 - $30

                  = $90
