Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a table with items, each having:
- A discount percentage (all 50% in this case)
- An original price shown on the item tag
- We need to calculate:
1. Discount amount = 50% of original price
2. New price = Original price – Discount amount
Since all discounts are 50%, that means we’re taking half off the original price.
Let’s go item by item:
---
Item 1: Umbrella — $6
Discount amount = 50% of $6 = ½ × 6 = $3
New price = $6 – $3 = $3
---
Item 2: Backpack — $14
Discount amount = 50% of $14 = ½ × 14 = $7
New price = $14 – $7 = $7
---
Item 3: Skateboard — $16
Discount amount = 50% of $16 = ½ × 16 = $8
New price = $16 – $8 = $8
---
Item 4: Hairbrush — $12
Discount amount = 50% of $12 = ½ × 12 = $6
New price = $12 – $6 = $6
---
Now let’s fill in the table:
| Item | Discount on item | Discount amount on original price ($) | New price ($) |
|-------------|------------------|----------------------------------------|---------------|
| Umbrella | 50% | 3 | 3 |
| Backpack | 50% | 7 | 7 |
| Skateboard | 50% | 8 | 8 |
| Hairbrush | 50% | 6 | 6 |
All calculations checked and correct.
Final Answer:
Umbrella: Discount $3, New Price $3
Backpack: Discount $7, New Price $7
Skateboard: Discount $8, New Price $8
Hairbrush: Discount $6, New Price $6
