Question

A pair of pants with a marked price of $35.00 has a discount of 20%. How much is the discount?

Answer 1

`$7`

Explanation:

We first notice that `20%=20/100=1/5`. So, the discount will be `1/5` of the marked price. Therefore, we multiply the marked price by `1/5` to get the discount.

`$35*1/5=$7`
