Carson has a loyalty card good for a discount at his local pharmacy. The item he wants to buy is priced at $13, before discount and tax. After the discount, and before tax, the price is $12.48. Find the percent discount.

Question

Answer 1

First, calculate the amount of discount Carson received:

Next, calculate the percent discount:
($0.52 / $13) * 100% = 4%

Therefore, Carson received a 4% discount on the item.
