Question

A clothing shop is offering a 12 percent discount for senior citizens. Which equation represents the discount price?

Answer 1

Answer: DP = P - ( P x 0,12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Discount: 12% = 0,12 (in decimal form)

Price: P

Discount price: DP

So, to obtain the discount price we have to subtract to the original price (P)

The 12 percent discount ( 0,12 x P ).

Mathematically speaking:

DP = P - ( P x 0,12)
