How much discount?
Hi. Which is correct for the question, "How much discount do we get?"? The numbers, ie, 20 or 5, are not important. I'm wondering about the words "percent," "dollars" and "dollar" in the multiple-choice answers below. Thank you in advance for your help.
1. 20 percent
2. 5 dollars
3. 5 dollar
1. 20 percent
2. 5 dollars
3. 5 dollar

Is that the complete question and answer? I would pick (1) 20 percent is the discount. Not (2) because, normally, you would say "five dollars off " in that situation.
