Solutions for Computing Discounts Worksheet

To calculate a price after applying a percentage reduction, start by multiplying the original amount by the discount rate. Subtract the result from the original price to get the final price.

For example, if an item costs $200 and the discount rate is 20%, multiply $200 by 0.20 to get $40. Subtract $40 from $200 to get a final price of $160.

Repeat this process for any number of items or percentages. It’s important to double-check calculations to ensure accuracy. Practicing these steps will help improve your understanding of percentage reductions and their applications.
