Sagot :
To determine a percentage difference, simply divide the difference of the two numbers by the original. For instance, 82-65.60=16.4 16.4 is 20% of 82, so the discount is 20% (16.4/82)
Given↷
- Original Price ⇢ $82
- Sale price ⇢$65.60
To find ↷
- % of discount
Answer↷
- 20%
Solution ↷
we know that,
% of discount = (OP-SP)/OP x 100
% of discount = (82-65.60)/82 x 100
% of discount = 16.4/82 x 100
% of discount = 0.2 x 100
% of discount = 20
hence , the discount percentage is 20
