Question

Answer 1

PLZ GIVE ANSWER WITH FORMULA AND EXPLANATION THANKS:)

Answer 2

A 20% discount will mean that the coffee maker will now only cost 80% of the original price.
So if we were to multiply the original cost by 1, we would get the same price i.e. 100% of the original cost.
Similarly if we multiply the original cost by 0.8, we will get 80% of the original price;

\[49.95 \times 0.8 = 39.96\]

Answer 6

\[percentage change = \frac{original percentage - discounted percentage}{original percentage}\]
\[discounted price = \frac{original percentage - discounted percentage}{original percentage} \times price\]

$9.99 is the answer

Answer 8

$9.99 is the amount taken off the original price to give us the discounted price. The discounted price is what your question was asking for.
