Question

A store is offering
a
15% discount on a $40
item. How much money do you save, and what is the discounted price?

Answer 1

To calculate the savings from a 15% discount on a $40 item, you can use the following steps:

1. **Calculate the discount amount**:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 40 \times 0.15 = 6
\]
So, you save **$6**.

2. **Calculate the discounted price**:
\[
\text{Discounted Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 40 - 6 = 34
\]
The discounted price is **$34**.

So, you save **$6** and the discounted price is **$34**.
