Q. Rashon went shopping for a new pair of pants because of a sale. The price on the tag was $30 \$ 30 , but Rashon paid $27 \$ 27 before tax. Find the percent discount.\newlineAnswer: _____% \%
  1. Identify Prices: Identify the original price and the sale price.\newlineOriginal price: $30\$30\newlineSale price: $27\$27
  2. Calculate Discount Amount: Calculate the amount of discount by subtracting the sale price from the original price.\newlineDiscount Amount = Original price - Sale price\newlineDiscount Amount = $30\$30 - $27\$27\newlineDiscount Amount = $3\$3
  3. Calculate Percent Discount: Calculate the percent discount by dividing the discount amount by the original price and then multiplying by 100100 to get the percentage.\newlinePercent Discount = (Discount Amount/Original price)×100(\text{Discount Amount} / \text{Original price}) \times 100\newlinePercent Discount = ($3/$30)×100(\$3 / \$30) \times 100\newlinePercent Discount = 0.1×1000.1 \times 100\newlinePercent Discount = 10%10\%
