Question

Mr. Stubbert wants to buy a $520 sword, and he has a coupon for 15% off. How much does he pay?

Answer 1

$\text{Hello there!}$

Before we find the amount Mr Stubbert paid, we'll have to find the value of the coupon.

To do this, we will have to multiply the Original Price with the Rate of Discount.

A Rate of Discount is your coupon into decimal form. In this case, it would be $\multiply {0.15}$

So now we will multiply.

$\text{520 x 0.15 =} \underline {78}$

So $78$ is going to be our discount.

Now that we've found the discount, let's subtract $78$ from $520$.

$\text{520 - 78 = 442}$

$\fbox {So our answer is going to be \bold 442}$

$\rule{300}{1.0}$
