Chet bought a rug that cost $280. He had a coupon for a 10% discount.
1. How much money did he save with the discount?
2. How much did he pay for the rug?
$280 * 0.1 = $ _____ amount saved.
To find out how much money Chet saved with the discount, we can calculate 10% of the original price of the rug.
1. To calculate the discount amount, multiply the original price ($280) by the discount rate (10% or 0.1).
Discount amount = $280 x 0.1 = $28
Therefore, Chet saved $28 with the discount.
2. To find out how much Chet paid for the rug after the discount, we need to subtract the discount amount from the original price.
Price after discount = Original price - Discount amount
= $280 - $28
= $252
Therefore, Chet paid $252 for the rug after applying the discount.
