Math Problem Statement

Solve for the discount and the sale price of each item given the discount rate and the original price.

Solution

The activity sheet you've shared seems to have multiple math problems regarding discounts and pricing. Let's tackle them one by one.

Part I

  1. Peter's Motorcycle Payment Calculation Peter bought a motorcycle on an installment plan requiring monthly payments over 36 months. If she gets a 2.5% discount for prompt payment, how much will she pay each month?

    Let's assume the total cost of the motorcycle is CC. The installment plan states that Peter pays P3,600P3,600 per month for 36 months without the discount. Thus: C=P3,600×36C = P3,600 \times 36 To find the discounted monthly payment MM, consider the total price minus the 2.5% discount, then divide by 36 months: M=C×(10.025)36M = \frac{C \times (1 - 0.025)}{36} Substituting the values and solving for MM.

  2. Cris's Bicycle Discount Rate Calculation Cris bought a bicycle for P4,500P4,500 with a P500P500 discount. We need to calculate the discount rate rr as a percentage. r=(5004500)×100%r = \left(\frac{500}{4500}\right) \times 100\% This will give us the discount rate as a percentage.

Part II

For the given table:

  • Birthday Cake With an original price of P800P800 and a discount rate of 18%, calculate the discount and the sale price. Discount=800×0.18\text{Discount} = 800 \times 0.18 Sale Price=800(Discount)\text{Sale Price} = 800 - (\text{Discount})

  • Medicine Kit with Complete Set With a sale price of P799.20P799.20 and a discount of P250P250, calculate the original price and then validate the discount rate of 20%. Original Price=799.20+250\text{Original Price} = 799.20 + 250 Then check: Discount Rate Check=(250Original Price)×100%\text{Discount Rate Check} = \left(\frac{250}{\text{Original Price}}\right) \times 100\%

  • Laptop Given a discount of P500P500 and a sale price of P25,990P25,990, calculate the original price. Original Price=25,990+500\text{Original Price} = 25,990 + 500

  • Wrist Watch Given the original price of P3,600P3,600 and a discount rate of 34%, find the discount amount and the sale price. Discount=3,600×0.34\text{Discount} = 3,600 \times 0.34 Sale Price=3,600(Discount)\text{Sale Price} = 3,600 - (\text{Discount})

  • Study Table Given a sale price of P2,250P2,250 and a discount rate of 18%, calculate the original price. Original Price=2,25010.18\text{Original Price} = \frac{2,250}{1 - 0.18}

I will now perform the calculations for each of these scenarios. Let's start with Peter's motorcycle payments.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.

If you have any other questions or need further explanations on the problems, feel free to ask! Here are some related topics you might consider:

  1. How do you calculate the overall cost of an item with an installment plan?
  2. What is the formula for calculating discount percentage?
  3. How can you determine the original price of an item if you know the sale price and the discount rate?
  4. What are the effects of discount rates on consumer purchasing decisions?
  5. How do installment payments affect the total cost of an item?

Tip: When solving discount-related problems, always make sure to convert percentage rates into decimal form by dividing them by 100 before performing calculations.
