Stella purchased a couch for 856.99 but paid 728.44. How much discount did she receive.


Sagot :

Answer:   15% discount  (approximate)

Explanation

She saved 856.99 - 728.44 = 128.55 dollars.

Divide this over the original price.

128.55/856.99 = 0.150002 approximately

Move the decimal over 2 spots to the right to get 15.0002% which is also approximate. It's probably best to say round to the nearest hundredth. Doing so leads to a 15% discount approximately.

If your teacher tells you to round another way, then be sure to follow those instructions.
