Answer:
To get the discount for the 5 pound bag of apples, we must first note the following:
The original price of the apples, which in this case it is 2.99
Also we must note the sale price for the apples which is 1.59
to get the discount for apples we must then create an equation based on the above information,
Discount for A= original price -sale price
Discount for A=2.99-1.59
Discount for A=1.40
Part 1 Answer is 1.40 which is the discount for apples at Handy Dandy Grocery.
Part 2
To get the discount for oranges we follow the same steps.
Discount for R= Original price for R -sale price for R
Discount for R=3.99-2.59
Discount for R=1.40
In conclusion, for both part one and part two we can derive a formula based on the apples and orange and say discount in both cases is arrived by the following:
D=Op-Sp. ( d= discount, Or= original price, Sp= sale price.)
