A kiosk gave a discount of $4 for every $50 spent. Yen bought a vest and paid $190 after the discount.
- What was the price of the vest before the discount?
- What was the amount that Yen saved?
(a)
Actual amount paid for every $50 spent
= 50 - 4
= $46
Number of sets of $46 spent
= 190 ÷ 46
= 4 r 6
Price of the vest before the discount
= 4 x 50 + 6
= 200 + 6
= $206
(b)
Amount that Yen saved
= 4 x 4
= $16
Answer(s): (a) $206; (b) $16
