(discounted amount) = $100.28 (original price) = $109 (discounted amount) divided by (original price) = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmmmm......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I got it. thx guys! (^.^)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What was your answer? :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

errrm well you did say to divide the discount amount by the original price, right? so I did that and got 0.92.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's correct.. But you're not done yet! :o \[1.00 - 0.92 = ???\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh!!!! lol thx. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 0.08, is that correct???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Indeed it is, 0.08 converts to 8 so therefore it is correct ^^'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, thank you!!!!! (^.^)
