Belvedere goes to the store and buys a soccer ball for $50. The store
is running a discount of 10%. What is the price of the soccer ball after
the discount?

Answer :

Answer:

$45 after the discount

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion.

     [tex]\frac{x}{50} = \frac{10}{100}[/tex]      $50 is the total amount and make the 10% a decimal

x(100) = 50(10)

100 = 500

100 ÷ 500

x = 5     <-- We have to subtract this amount from the total

$50 - $5 = $45 <-- total after the discount

Hope this helps!!

I agree with the person on top have a nice day :)
