14. The price of a \( \$ 220 \) saw was reduced to \( \$ 154 \). What was the percent discount? A. (0) \( 30 \% \)

To find the percent discount, subtract the sale price from the original price, then divide by the original price and multiply by 100. So, \( 220 - 154 = 66 \). Next, divide \( 66 \) by \( 220 \) to get \( 0.3 \), and then multiply by 100 to obtain a \( 30\% \) discount. This means you save a significant amount, making your purchase not just a bargain, but also a smart financial choice! Now, with any discount, it’s easy to celebrate but also easy to forget to check the total cost. Many shoppers might overlook additional fees or taxes that apply after the discount is applied. So always do the math and ensure you not only know your savings but also confirm the final price before proceeding to checkout!
