Question

Franco's Pizza is selling their pizzas 35% cheaper than usual if a pizza normally cost $12 how much is it now

Answer 1

Answer:

New or current cost = 12 - 4.2 = $7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Franco's Pizza is selling their pizzas 35% cheaper than usual. This is a discount on the normal cost. To get the amount it costs now, we will find the percentage of the discount on the original cost and subtract what we get from the original cost.

Discount = 35℅

Original cost of pizza is $12 (if a pizza normally cost $12).

So the discount in terms of dollars

= ℅ discount / 100 × normal cost of pizza

= 35 / 100 × 12 =0.35 × 12 = $4.2

New or current cost of pizza would be normal or original cost - the discount in dollars.

New or current cost = 12 - 4.2 = $7.8
