Question

An item was sold at a 60 % discount at a price 20 euros. What was the discount in euros?

Answer 1

40%........20euro

1%...........0,5

60%.........0,5•60=30euro

the discount was 30 euro

Answer 2

If an item was sold at a 60% discount and the selling price was 20 euros, we can calculate the original price before the discount by dividing the selling price by (1 - discount percentage):

Original price = Selling price / (1 - discount percentage)

In this case, the discount percentage is 60%, which can be written as 0.60 in decimal form. Let's calculate the original price:

Original price = 20 euros / (1 - 0.60) Original price = 20 euros / 0.40 Original price = 50 euros

To find the discount in euros, we need to subtract the selling price from the original price:

Discount = Original price - Selling price Discount = 50 euros - 20 euros Discount = 30 euros

Therefore, the discount in euros is 30 euros.
