Quiz preview

A Simple Percentage Discount reduces the price by:

The full original price so you pay nothing for the item
A set percentage of the original — so 20% off 5000 in local currency saves 1000 in local currency
A fixed amount that is always the same regardless of original price
A percentage of the sale price rather than the original price

A shirt costs 6000 in local currency with 25% off. You will pay:

5750 in local currency — subtracting 25 from the total price in your local currency
1500 in local currency — which is only the 25% discount portion
4500 in local currency — which is 75% of the original 6000 in local currency
5000 in local currency — reduced by one fifth of the original price
