Question

Caroline spent $52.70 on groceries after using coupons and store discounts. Without the coupons and store discounts, the groceries would have cost $62.00. What is the total discount Caroline received at the grocery store?
A.
9%
B.
18%
C.
7%
D.
15%

Answer 1

D. 15%

To calculate the total discount Caroline received:
Original cost - Final cost = Total discount
$62.00 - $52.70 = $9.30

To calculate the percentage discount:
Total discount / Original cost x 100% = Percentage discount
$9.30 / $62.00 x 100% = 15%

Therefore, Caroline received a total discount of 15% at the grocery store.
