A coat has an original price of 70$. A coupon give the customer a discount of 20%. What is the value of the discount?

Question

There is no more details I just need help please.

Answer 1

If the discount is 20% then you just take 20% of $70 to get the amount of the discount.  20% is the same as .20, and .20 * 70 = 14.

 

So the value of the discount is $14.
