Try a sample Percentage discount question
Question 1 — Easy
A marine biologist tags sharks along a coastline. She tags 3 sharks on the first day, and each following day she tags twice as many as the day before. How many sharks does she tag in total over 5 days?
Answer: The number of sharks tagged each day follows a geometric sequence: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48. The total is 3 + 6 + 12 + 24 + 48 = 93.
Question 2 — Medium
A sports store is selling a cricket bat for $120. It has a sign that says '25% off today only'. What is the discount amount that is taken off the original price?
Answer: 25% of $120 = 0.25 × 120 = $30 discount. Option A confuses the percentage value (25) with a dollar amount. Option C gives the sale price ($120 − $30 = $90) rather than the discount amount. Option D does not correspond to a correct calculation and may result from a subtraction error.
Question 3 — Hard
Priya is shopping for a jacket that costs $80. The store has a 15% discount on all jackets. How much will Priya pay altogether after the discount?
Answer: 15% of $80 = 0.15 × 80 = $12 discount. Subtracting the discount from the original price: $80 − $12 = $68. Option A is only the discount amount, not the final price. Option B incorrectly subtracts 15 from $80 rather than 15% of $80. Option D subtracts only $5, which is not 15% of $80.
