Respuesta :

discount= $12.784

final price=$27.166

Explanation

you can easily solve this by using a rule of three.

Step 1

Let

x represents the discount =32 percent

then

if

[tex]\begin{gathered} 39.95\Rightarrow100\text{ percent} \\ x\Rightarrow32\text{ percent} \end{gathered}[/tex]

the proportion is the same, hence

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{39.95}{100}=\frac{x}{32} \\ \text{solve for x} \\ x=\frac{39.95\cdot32}{100} \\ x=12.784 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 2

the final price

[tex]\begin{gathered} the\text{ final price= original price-discount} \\ \text{replacing} \\ The\text{ final price=39.95-12.784=27.166} \end{gathered}[/tex]

I hope this helps you
