Sure, here's a real-world percent problem for you:
Problem: Sarah went shopping and bought a dress that was originally priced at $80. The store was having a sale and the dress was marked down by 25%. How much did Sarah pay for the dress after the discount?
As for the second part of your question, here's an example of an incorrect solution to a classmate's problem:
Classmate's problem: John bought a laptop that was on sale for 20% off the original price of $1000. What was the final price he paid?
Incorrect solution: To find the final price, we take 20% off $1000, which is $200. So, the final price is $1000 - $200 = $800.
However, the mistake here is that the classmate forgot to apply the discount correctly. The 20% off should be taken from the original price, not subtracted. The correct solution would be:
Correct solution: To find the final price, we need to calculate 20% of $1000, which is $200. Then we subtract this discount amount from the original price to get the final price: $1000 - $200 = $800.
I hope this helps! Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
Sure! I can help you come up with a real-world percent problem for your discussion.
One example of a real-world percent problem could be:
"Emily received a 15% discount on a pair of shoes that originally cost $80. How much did Emily pay for the shoes after the discount?"
To solve this problem, you can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the discount amount by multiplying the original price ($80) by the discount rate (15% expressed as a decimal, which is 0.15): $80 * 0.15 = $12
2. Subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the final price: $80 - $12 = $68
Therefore, Emily paid $68 for the shoes after the 15% discount.
Now, if you need help with the other parts of your discussion, please let me know which part you would like assistance with.
