Question

The original price of a digital keyboard was $119.50. The keyboard was on sale for $109.94. What was the discount rate?

there was no multiple choice on it and i will give a medal if answered correct

Answer 1

original-sale / original *100

Answer 2

119.50-109.94 / 119.50 *100 gives you 8%

Answer 3

we know the original price was $119.50
the discounted price is $109.94

119.50-109.94 = 9.56

so. of 119.50 is the 100%, what is 9.56 in percent ? \(\large \begin{array}{ccllll}
quantity&percentage\\
\hline\\
119.50&100\\
109.94&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{119.50}{109.94}=\cfrac{100}{x}\)

Answer 4

thanks!

Answer 5

anyhow. that gave what was 109.94 but \(\large \begin{array}{ccllll}
quantity&percentage\\
\hline\\
119.50&100\\
9.56&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{119.50}{9.56}=\cfrac{100}{x}\)
