Paul lists his house to sell for $280 000. Jane offers to buy it for $238 000. What is the percentage of discount represented by Jane’s offer?
![Page 7: 2008 Florida MATH COUNTS](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/56814d62550346895dbaaef1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Answer
15 (%)
Discount = Original – Sale Price = $280 000 − $238 000 = $42 000
42 000 / 280 000 = (3 × 14)/(20 × 14) = 15 %

The price of a certain television is discounted 10 %, and the reduced price is then discounted 10 %. This sequence of discounts is equivalent to a single discount of what percent?
![Page 17: 2008 Florida MATH COUNTS](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/56814d62550346895dbaaef1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Answer
19 (%)
10 % off means a cost of 90 % for a cost factor of 0.9. Applying twice yields 0.9 × 0.9 = 0.81 = 81 % price for 100 % − 81 % = 19 % discount.
