The simple discount is the difference between the future value (the amount due at the end of the period) and the present value (the current cost of the car).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In this case:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* Future Value = 950,000 pesos
\n" ); document.write( "* Present Value = 880,000 pesos\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simple Discount = Future Value - Present Value
\n" ); document.write( "Simple Discount = 950,000 - 880,000
\n" ); document.write( "Simple Discount = 70,000 pesos\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the simple discount is $\boxed{70,000}$ pesos.
