Question

An appliance store has all refrigerators discounted 20% off the regular price. If the regular price of a refrigerator is $949, what is the amount of the discount and the price after the discount?

Answer 1

20% written as a decimal is 0.2

To get the discount amount you multiply the price and the discount rate.

949*0.2 = $188.40

The price after the discount is just the difference between the starting price and the discount:

949 - 188.4 = $760.60

Answer 2

thank you!
