tomas wants to buy anew baseball bat. The one he likes cost $130, but is on sale for $104.What is the percent of the discount tomas will get if he buys the bat?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Tomas will get 20%  discount  if he buys the bat.

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked price of the baseball bat = $130

The selling price of the baseball bat =  $104

Now, the Discounted amount = Marked Price -   Selling Price

                                                =  $130 - $104  = $26

So, the total discount on the baseball bat = $26

Also, the discount percentage is always applied on the marked price.

SO, let us assume the discount percentage on MP  = k%

⇒  k % of $130 =  $26

[tex]\implies \frac{k}{100}  \times 130 =  26\\\implies k = 26 \times \frac{100}{130} = 20[/tex]

or, k = 20%

So, the discount percentage on the marked price = 20%

Hence, Tomas will get 20%  discount  if he buys the bat.
