Question

Magan went shopping for a new camera because of a sale. The price on the tag was 21$, but Magan paid $12.60 before tax. Find the percent discount

Answer 1

First, calculate the amount of the discount by subtracting the amount paid from the original price:

$21 - $12.60 = $8.40

Now, calculate the percentage discount by dividing the discount by the original price and then multiplying by 100:

($8.40 / $21) * 100 = 40%

So, Magan received a 40% discount on the camera.
