A store has an 8% discount on all items. If Shara paid $184 for a pair of shoes, how much did Shara save? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The price that Shara paid is only 100% - 8% = 92% of the original price. So, every 1% is equal to $184 / 92 = $2. Therefore, Shara saved $2 x 8 = $16. So, the answer is 16.
