Question

A 6-pound watermelon costs $2.40 before a 30% discount. Which equation would allow you to find the discounted price of the watermelon?

Answer 1

Do 2.40 times .3 (you turn the percentage into a decimal and move it forward 2 spaces) and you get .72 so you subtract that from 2.40 and get 1.68

Answer 2

d = 0.7 x $2.40 that is the answer
