Question

bracelet is marked down 20%. The original price is $37.50.

How much is the discount?

Answer 1

(20/100) * original price = your answer

Answer 2

$37.50 base price, 20% decrease
37.50 * 0.2 (20%) = 7.5
37.50 - 7.5 = 30

Answer 3

it's asking for the discount amount, not the discounted price

Answer 4

It's pretty simple.

Answer 5

the discounted amount is 20% of the original price

Answer 6

No direct answering. You are being warned.

Answer 7

20% of 37.5 is not 30

Answer 8

Yeah it's $7.50 then you subtract $37.50 by the new price, to get $30. It's asking how much it decreased, not the finale value.

Answer 9

"How much is the discount? "

Answer 10

the answer still isn't 30

Answer 11

30 is the final amount, not the discount

Answer 12

discount = how much money did we save?
