Here are the step-by-step solutions for the discount problems:
Problem 1:
*
Original Price: $150
*
Discount Amount: The problem states it was "reduced by $70". So, the discount is $70.
*
Amount Paid: To find what the customer pays, subtract the discount from the original price.
* $150 - $70 = $80
Problem 2:
*
Original Price: $800
*
Discount Percentage: 10%
*
Discount Amount: Calculate 10% of $800.
* $800 \times 0.10 = $80$
*
Amount Paid: Subtract the discount amount from the original price.
* $800 - $80 = $720
Problem 3:
*
Original Price: $50
*
Discount Amount: The problem states there was a "discount of $12". So, the discount is $12.
*
Amount Paid: Subtract the discount from the original price.
* $50 - $12 = $38
Problem 4:
*
Original Price: $200
*
Discount Percentage: 25%
*
Discount Amount: Calculate 25% of $200.
* $200 \times 0.25 = $50$
*
Amount Paid: Subtract the discount amount from the original price.
* $200 - $50 = $150
Final Answer:
1. Discount = $70, Amount Paid = $80
2. Discount = $80, Amount Paid = $720
3. Discount = $12, Amount Paid = $38
