A kiosk gave a discount of $4 for every $30 spent. Sabrina bought a blouse and paid $100 after the discount.
- What was the price of the blouse before the discount?
- What was the amount that Sabrina saved?
(a)
Actual amount paid for every $30 spent
= 30 - 4
= $26
Number of sets of $26 spent
= 100 ÷ 26
= 3 r 22
Price of the blouse before the discount
= 3 x 30 + 22
= 90 + 22
= $112
(b)
Amount that Sabrina saved
= 3 x 4
= $12
Answer(s): (a) $112; (b) $12
