Question

this is it:

The regular price of a blouse is $34.00 Find the amount of the discount and reduce prise if there is a discount of 30 %

Answer 1

The discount amount is 30% of $34.00, i.e. 30/100 * $34.00 = $10.20.

The reduced price is the regular price minus the discount amount, i.e. $34.00 - $10.20 = $23.80.

Answer 2

Blouse: $34
Discount: 30% = .30
[to change percentage to decimal, drop percentage sign then move decimal point two places to the left]

Calculate discount amount: (34)(.30) = $10.20

Subtract discount from cost of blouse:
34 - 10.20 = $23.80 [price after discount]
