Answers and Solutions:

1.)

Let's find the amount of the discount first.

Amount = Base x rate

A = P500 x 25%

A = P500 x 0.25 (Change Percent To Decimal)

A= P125 (Amount Of Discount)

Now, let's find the sale price of the sweater.

P500 - P125 = P375

Therefore, the sale price of the sweater is P375.

2.)

A = B x R

P1,250 = P1,350 x R

R = P1,250 / P1,350 (Subsitution and change of operations)

R = 0.93

R = 93%

Therefore, the discount rate of the blouses is 93%.

3.)

A = B x R

P1,562.50 = P1,750 x R

R = P1,562.50 / P1,750 (Subsitution and change of operations)

R = 0.89

R = 89%

Therefore, the discount rate of the pair of maong pants is 89%.

4.) (Not really sure about this one, sorry)

5.)

A = B x R

A = P5,000 x 40%

A = P5,000 x 0.4

A = P2,000 (Amount Of Discount)

Now, let's find the sale price of the carpet.

P5,000 - P2,000 = P3,000

Therefore, the sale price of the carpet is P3,000.
