Question

Aaden bought a pair of shorts online for $66. He used a coupon code to get a 10% discount. The website also applied a 5% processing fee to the price after the discount. How much was the discount, in dollars and cents?

Answer 1

To calculate the discount amount, we first need to find 10% of the original price, which is $66.

The discount can be calculated as follows:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate}
\]
\[
\text{Discount} = 66 \times 0.10
\]
\[
\text{Discount} = 6.60
\]

So, the discount amount is **$6.60**.
