Question

Larry and Donna bought a sofa at the sale price of $1,344. The original price of the sofa was $1,920. Find the discount rate

Answer 1

Answer:

30% discount

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent discount write a proportion.

$\frac{1344}{1920}=\frac{x}{100}$

Cross multiply numerator with denominator of each fraction to solve for x.

1344(100) = 1920(x)

134400 = 1920x

70 = x

This means you pay 70% of the price. The discount was 30%.
