find the missing values original price= $600, Rate of discount____, Amount of discount $120, and Sale price____? Whats the Rate of discount & Sales Price?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rate of discount is 120/600 and the sales price would be 600-120/600

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Not quite.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*actually 600-120 for sales price... sorry

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The rate of discount is how much what percent of original price is the amount of discount: The amount of discount is $120, and the original price is $600, so rate of discount is: 120/600 x 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's your percentage...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then your rate would be .2 or 20% depending what you want and the sale price is 600-120= 480
