a store advertises off all merchandise what is the savings on an item originally priced at $50

1 answer

To calculate the savings on an item originally priced at $50 with a discount of a certain percentage, you need the percentage off. Since you didn't specify the percentage, let's say, for example, the store is offering a 20% discount.

Here's how you would calculate the savings:

  1. Calculate the savings: \[ \text{Savings} = \text{Original Price} \times \left(\frac{\text{Discount Percentage}}{100}\right) \]

    For a 20% discount: \[ \text{Savings} = 50 \times \left(\frac{20}{100}\right) = 50 \times 0.20 = 10 \]

So, with a 20% discount, you would save $10 on an item originally priced at $50.

If you have a specific discount percentage in mind, please provide it, and I can calculate the savings for that percentage.
