Question

For the book sale, (c) Suzy saved a total of \$3.70. Find the percentage discount for the second book.

Answer: 20%

Discount on the first book $= \$1.25$. Discount on the second book $= 3.70 - 1.25 = \$2.45$. Original price of the second book $= 9.80 + 2.45 = \$12.25$. Percentage discount $= \frac{2.45}{12.25} \times 100\% = 20\%$.
