Q. Sadie has a loyalty card good for a 13% 13 \% discount at her local hardware store. What number should she multiply the prices on the tags by to find the price she would have to pay, before tax, in one step?\newlineAnswer:
  1. Understand discount received: Understand the discount Sadie receives.\newlineSadie has a loyalty card that gives her a 13%13\% discount. This means she pays 100%−13%100\% - 13\% of the original price.
  2. Calculate percentage paid: Calculate the percentage of the original price she pays. 100%−13%=87%100\% - 13\% = 87\% Sadie pays 87%87\% of the original price.
  3. Convert percentage to decimal: Convert the percentage to a decimal to find the multiplication factor.\newlineTo convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100100.\newline87%/100=0.8787\% / 100 = 0.87\newlineSadie should multiply the prices by 0.870.87 to find the price she would have to pay before tax.
