Definition: To deduct from an account, debt, charge, and the like.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look,
At a word that pops up, a clever little hook!
“Discounted,” you see, it’s more than just a plea,
It's about a price change, for you and for me.
The dictionary tells us, with a factual decree,
"To deduct from an account, debt, charge, and the like," – that’s true!
But let's break it down in a way nice and new,
Think of a shop selling something, shiny and blue.
If they say “20% discounted,” hear what I say,
It means the price is lower, brighter than today!
They've taken a portion
away
, you understand,
A little bit less to pay, across the land.
Like taking ten dollars, then subtracting three,
You’re left with seven – that’s what “discounted” will be!
It’s a reduction in cost, a helpful treat,
So you can buy more goodies, oh so sweet! 😊
Do you have any questions? Let's discuss and see,
Does "discounted" make perfect sense to thee?
