1. Flat Discount:
- Scenario: The owner decides to give a flat discount of $2 on every ice cream cone.
- Explanation: No matter the cost of the ice cream cone you choose—whether it’s a small, medium, or large—you get a fixed reduction of $2.
- Analogy: It’s like the owner saying, “Hey, enjoy any ice cream cone, and I’ll take $2 off the total cost as a special discount.”
2. Percentage Discount:
- Scenario: Alternatively, the owner decides to offer a 10% discount on the total cost of the ice cream cone.
- Explanation: This time, the discount is a percentage of the total cost. So, if your ice cream cone costs $20, you’ll get a discount of 10% of that amount, which is $2.
- Analogy: It’s like the owner saying, “I’ll take 10% off the total price of your ice cream cone as a thank-you gesture. The more you spend, the more you save!”
