    Answer:

    $1800

    Step-by-step explanation:

    100% = $2000

    10% = $200

    1% = $20

    so, when there is a discount of 10%, then the corresponding $200 will be deducted from the price.

    and the actual sales price of the couch is then

    $2000 – $200 = $1800

    little more practice to show the general thinking behind % :

    let’s say the discount is 18%. what now ?

    well, we know how much 1% is. and we need then 18 times this 1% to deduct from the original price.

    18% = 18 × 100%/100 or 100% × 18/100

    so, for a couch of originally $2000 this is

    18% = $2000 × 18/100 or $2000 × (1/100) × 18 or

    ($2000/100) × 18

    whatever feels “nicer”, but all of these approaches do the same thing and lead to the same result.

    so, long story short :

    18% = 18 × 1% = 18 × $20 = $360

    and the sales price of the couch is then

    $2000 – $360 = $1640

    Answer:

    200%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    because 2000 is more than 1000 so the discount is 10% and 10% of 2000 is 200
