Question

The store offers a 35% discount. If the regular price of an item is x dollars, what is the discount price in dollars?

Answer 1

Answer: .35x

Step-by-step explanation:

take the 35% and turn it into a decimal (.35)

Since the item is "X" dollars, multiply the x(.35)

This gives you .35x

Answer 2

If there is a 35% discount, first convert the percent to a decimal

35% = 0.35

Then multiply the discount rate by the price of the item

x = item price

0.20x = discounted price
