Question

If the original price of dima’s skirt was $54, how much more could she have saved at the store her friend suggested?

Answer 1

$1.80

54×$\frac{1}{3}$=18

54×0.30=16.2

18-16.2=1.8

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B - 1.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

She gets skirt at 54$

Though she got discount = 30%

This clearly indicates that she safe 30% from her purchase,

Calculation,

54 * 30 / 100 = 16.20$

However, her friend told to get discount 1 / 3 of 54

This means 54 / 3 = 18

We subtract both discounts to each other like the following,

18 - 16.20 she will get more discount about 1.8$

Ultimately the answer would be B.
