Discount word problems are a common source of lost points on the DAT Quantitative Reasoning section.
In this video, Prof. Denis Blois walks through a representative discount problem step-by-step, showing how to correctly interpret percentages, compare original and sale prices, and avoid the traps that confuse many students.
This type of applied math question appears frequently on the DAT and OAT, especially in word-problem form.
If you struggle with QR word problems, focus on setting up the relationships correctly before calculating.
