Question

Raven goes to the salon to get a $50 haircut and has a coupon for 15% off. What will be the cost of her hair cut after the discount from her coupon?

Answer 1

Cost of hair = $50 - discount

discount = 15% of $50

$\begin{gathered} =\text{ }\frac{15}{100}\text{ x 50} \\ =\text{ }\frac{750}{100} \\ \text{Discount = \ 7,5} \end{gathered}$

Therefore,

Cost of haircut = $50 - $7.5

= $42.5
