Question

Quincy had a coupon for his favorite clothing store. He received a discount of eleven dollars on a pair of jeans that originally cost fifty-five dollars. Set up a percent proportion to determine the percent discount he received with his coupon. Which of the following is a denominator in the proportion?

Answer 1

11 x
-- = ---
55 100

11(100)=55x
1100 = 55x
1100/55 = x
20 = x

55*0.20=11 which is the amount off.
