Q. Kennedy has a loyalty card good for a discount at her local pharmacy. The item she wants to buy is priced at $37, before discount and tax. After the discount, and before tax, the price is $36.26. Find the percent discount.Answer: _____%
Calculate Discount Amount: First, we need to determine the amount of discount Kennedy received. To do this, we subtract the discounted price from the original price.Discount Amount = Original Price - Discounted PriceDiscount Amount = $37.00 - $36.26Discount Amount = $0.74
Calculate Percent Discount: Next, we calculate the percent discount based on the original price and the discount amount. The percent discount is found by dividing the discount amount by the original price and then multiplying by 100 to get the percentage.Percent Discount = (Discount Amount/Original Price)×100Percent Discount = ($0.74/$37.00)×100Percent Discount = 0.02×100Percent Discount = 2%
