Tasha purchased a $40.00 shirt on sale for $30.00. How much of a discount did tasha receive?

Answer 1

(40 - 30)/40 = 10/40 = 1/4 = 25%



Answer 2

Take the original price and deduct the sale price to find the amount of the discount.

40 - 30 = 10

She received a $10 discount.

Answer 3

-First, figure out how much money she saved with the discount:

40-30=10

-If the shirt was originally $40 then what percent of 40 is 10?

10 = x

40 100

Cross multiply 10*100=1000

1000=40x

Divide both sides by 40

25=x

Or... 10/40 is 1/4 so what is 1/4 of 100?

Answer: 25

Tasha received a 25% discount.
