Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The sell price of the truck rental after applying the coupon of 20 % is $ 120 . Step-by-step explanation:Given as :The regular rented price for the truck = $ 150The discount as off coupon = 20 %Let The sell price for truck after discount = xSo , Discount % = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm market price - \textrm Selling price}{\textrm market price}[/tex]Or, 20 % = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm 150 - \textrm x}{\textrm 150}[/tex]Or, [tex]\dfrac{x}{150}[/tex] = 1 - [tex]\dfrac{20}{100}[/tex] Or, [tex]\dfrac{x}{150}[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{100 - 20}{100}[/tex] or, [tex]\dfrac{x}{150}[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{80}{100}[/tex] ∴ x = [tex]\frac{80\times 150}{100}[/tex]I.e x = 8 × 15Or, x = 120 Hence the sell price of the truck rental after applying the coupon of 20 % is $ 120 .
