Lindsay bought six cds at the mall: the original price was $13 each but she got a discount, and only paid a total of $58.50 for all six. what was the discount
6 * 13 = 78
(78 - 58.5) / 78 = ?
Multiply the decimal answer by 100 to find the percent discount.
To find out what the discount was, we first need to determine the total original price of the six CDs.
Since each CD originally cost $13, the total original price would be calculated by multiplying the original price of each CD by the number of CDs purchased:
Total original price = Original price per CD * Number of CDs
Total original price = $13 * 6
Total original price = $78
Next, we need to calculate the value of the discount. To do this, subtract the amount Lindsay paid from the total original price:
Discount = Total original price - Amount paid
Discount = $78 - $58.50
Discount = $19.50
Therefore, the discount Lindsay received was $19.50.
