Question #17941

Answer 1

The amount of discount would be `$27`.

Explanation:

We know that the jacket's full price is `$90`.

If we take `$90` and multiply it by `0.70` (we get `0.70` by dividing `70/100`), this will give us our full price of the jacket after the discount, which is `$63`.

Now, if we take that `70` and subtract `100-70` we will get `30`. Divide `30/100` we get `0.30`.

Multiply `$90` by `0.30` and we will get the amount of our discount, `$27`.

You can check your answer by adding `63+27`, which should add up to our original price. In this case, `$90`.
