Whole Number P6

Before the Great Singapore Sale, Loft Departmental Store and Gallery Departmental Store were selling a similar bag at the same price. During the sale, such a bag was sold at the 2 depatmental stores at the discounted price of $279 and $313 respectively. Mdm Lim bought 2 such bags from each store during the sale and saved $190. What was the discount given for one such bag by Loft Departmental Store during the sale?


L [279][][1u][279][][1u]
G [ 313 ][1u][ 313 ][1u]

313 - 279 = 34  The difference in price for 1 bag. []

4 u --> 190 - 34 - 34 = 122

1 u --> 122 ÷ 4 = 30.50

30.50 + 34 = $64.50                       [][1 u]

The discount given for one such bag by Loft Departmental Store during the sale was $64.50.
There is no need to convert to percentage discount as Question asks specifically for Discount only.
