Question

A department store is offering the same percentage discount on all of their shoes Suppose one pair of shoes is marked down from $70 to $49. Based on that percentage discount, what would the new price be for a pair ol
shoes that originally cost $110

Answer 1

Answer:

• $77

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount is:

• $70 - $49 = $21

Discount % is:

• 21/70*100% = 30%

Applying same discount to pair of shoes for $110:

• $110 - 30% =
• $110*(100 - 30)/100 =
• $110*0.7 =
• $77
