Math Problem Statement

Elise bought a dress that was discounted 35% off of the original price of ₱140.00. What was the amount of discount and the sale price of the dress?

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to find the amount of the discount and the sale price of the dress.

Step 1: Calculate the amount of discount

The discount is 35% of the original price of ₱140.00.

Discount=Original Price×Discount Percentage100\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \frac{\text{Discount Percentage}}{100}

Discount=140×35100=140×0.35=49.00\text{Discount} = 140 \times \frac{35}{100} = 140 \times 0.35 = ₱49.00

So, the amount of the discount is ₱49.00.

Step 2: Calculate the sale price of the dress

The sale price is the original price minus the discount.

Sale Price=Original PriceDiscount\text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount}

Sale Price=14049=91.00\text{Sale Price} = 140 - 49 = ₱91.00

So, the sale price of the dress is ₱91.00.

Final Answer:

  • The amount of discount is ₱49.00.
  • The sale price of the dress is ₱91.00.
