Math Problem Statement

Solve for the discount and the sale price of each item given the discount rate and the original price. Problem set includes questions involving a 30% discount on items amounting to ₱1,800, an 18% discount on shoes worth ₱1,200, and a 10% discount on a mini-speaker priced at ₱1,030.

Solution

Let's go through each problem on the activity sheet and solve them one by one.

1. Aliyah receives a 30% discount on all the items she bought, which amounted to ₱1,800. How much is she going to pay the cashier?

  • Original Amount: ₱1,800
  • Discount Rate: 30%

Solution:

  1. Calculate the discount amount: Discount Amount=Original Amount×(Discount Rate100)=1800×0.30=540\text{Discount Amount} = \text{Original Amount} \times \left(\frac{\text{Discount Rate}}{100}\right) = 1800 \times 0.30 = 540
  2. Subtract the discount from the original amount to find the sale price: Sale Price=Original AmountDiscount Amount=1800540=1260\text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Amount} - \text{Discount Amount} = 1800 - 540 = 1260

So, Aliyah will pay ₱1,260 to the cashier.

2. Janelle bought a pair of shoes on its sale price of ₱1,200. How much was the discount if she was given an 18% discount rate?

  • Original Sale Price: ₱1,200
  • Discount Rate: 18%

Solution:

  1. Calculate the discount amount: Discount Amount=Original Sale Price×(Discount Rate100)=1200×0.18=216\text{Discount Amount} = \text{Original Sale Price} \times \left(\frac{\text{Discount Rate}}{100}\right) = 1200 \times 0.18 = 216

So, the discount Janelle received was ₱216.

3. In an appliance store, a mini-speaker is marked “10% off”. If the original amount is ₱1,030:

  • a. How much is the discount?

  • b. What is the sale price of the mini-speaker?

  • Original Price: ₱1,030

  • Discount Rate: 10%

Solution for (a):

  1. Calculate the discount amount: Discount Amount=Original Price×(Discount Rate100)=1030×0.10=103\text{Discount Amount} = \text{Original Price} \times \left(\frac{\text{Discount Rate}}{100}\right) = 1030 \times 0.10 = 103

So, the discount is ₱103.

Solution for (b): 2. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price: Sale Price=Original PriceDiscount Amount=1030103=927\text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount Amount} = 1030 - 103 = 927

So, the sale price of the mini-speaker is ₱927.
