Woolworths had a going out of business sale. The price of a telephone before the sale was $39.98. What was the price of the telephone after a 30% discount? If the sale price of the same telephone had been $23.99, what would the percentage discount have been?
to find the price after the discount the equation would be 39..98x.30which would equal 11.99. subtract that from the price before the discount and you get $27.99. thats your first answer. to find the second answer you would do 23.99 divided by 11.99 (the diacount from the first equation) to get the discount rate of 2% so your final answers are $27.99 and 2%
