Question

Vickie pays $90.00 for a new dress at a President's Day sale. If the original price for the dress was $225.00, what is the percent discount?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of the discount first of all we will calculate the price discounted.
for that we will subtract the new price from the original price
225 - 90 = 135
Now to find the percentage discount we will use the following method of dividing the difference in both prices by original price multiply it with 100
135/225 x 100 = 60
This means that the percentage discount was 60% on this dress.
