Q. Taub has a loyalty card good for a discount at her local grocery store. The item she wants to buy is priced at $32 \$ 32 , before discount and tax. After the discount, and before tax, the price is $29.12 \$ 29.12 . Find the percent discount.\newlineAnswer: _____% \%
  1. Identify Prices: Identify the original price and the discounted price.\newlineOriginal price = $32\$32\newlineDiscounted price = $29.12\$29.12\newlineWe need to find the difference between these two prices to determine the amount of discount.\newlineCalculation: Discount amount = Original price - Discounted price\newlineDiscount amount = $32\$32 - $29.12\$29.12\newlineDiscount amount = $2.88\$2.88
  2. Calculate Discount Amount: Calculate the percent discount based on the original price.\newlineTo find the percent discount, we divide the discount amount by the original price and then multiply by 100100 to convert it to a percentage.\newlineCalculation: Percent discount = (Discount amount/Original price)×100(\text{Discount amount} / \text{Original price}) \times 100\newlinePercent discount = ($2.88/$32)×100(\$2.88 / \$32) \times 100\newlinePercent discount = 0.09×1000.09 \times 100\newlinePercent discount = 9%9\%
