Let's solve the problem step-by-step to find the sale price of a scooter that originally costs [tex]$50 with a 10% discount.
### Step 1: Find the amount of the discount
First, we need to calculate how much money 10% of the original price is:
1. Start with the original cost of the scooter, which is $[/tex]50.00.
2. The discount rate is 10% (or 0.10 in decimal form).
To find the discount amount, multiply the original cost by the discount rate:
[tex]\[ \text{Discount Amount} = 50.00 \times 0.10 = 5.00 \][/tex]
So, the amount of the discount is [tex]$5.00.
### Step 2: Subtract the discount from the original amount to find the sale price
Now, subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the sale price:
\[ \text{Sale Price} = 50.00 - 5.00 = 45.00 \]
Therefore, the sale price of the scooter is $[/tex]45.00.
### Summary
- Amount of Discount: [tex]$5.00
- Sale Price: $[/tex]45.00
So, the scooter that originally costs [tex]$50.00 with a 10% discount will be sold for $[/tex]45.00.
