original price $13.10 discount is 25%

Question

What is the amount rate of discount and sale price after the discount?

Answer 1

If the original price is $13.10 and it is discounted by 25%,

Amount of discount is 13.10*.25 = 3.28. (rounding up)

 

The final sale price would 13.10 - 3.28 = 9.82.

 

Answer 2

To find the discount amount you want to multiply the terms together

$13.10 x 25% = $3.28 after rounding to the nearest cent

That means that the sales price is

$13.10 - $3.28 = $9.82

Answer 3

Sorry to complicate a simple problem, but there is a real issue with this problem statement.

 

The original price is $13.10  [note: that is exact to one cent]
The sales price may be any value between $9.76 and $9.89 [note: once selected, it is also exact to one cent]
 
The discount percent, not the discount amount, is rounded to 25%.
     $9.76/$13.10 = 0.745038 %  which is rounded to 75%

        . . .
     $9.89/$13.10 = 0.754963 %  which is rounded to 75%

 

Thus, rounding a dollar amount to the nearest cent is wrong!  The percent value has already been rounded to a whole percent.
