Explain your reasoning · Percent of an amount

A jacket costs $80 and is discounted by 30%. Find the discount and the sale price. Explain what amount represents 100%.

Open a sample approach and scoring guide

One possible approach: The discount is $24, because 0.30 × $80 = $24. The sale price is $56. The original $80 is 100%.

2-point guide: 1 point for a $24 discount and identifying $80 as the whole; 1 point for the $56 sale price and a clear explanation.

Try the problem before opening the example. A tutor or teacher can use the guide to discuss your representation and reasoning.
