Question

the tool set is on sale for $424.15. The original price of the tool set was $499.00. What percent of the original price is the sale price?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of the original price represented by the sale price, we can use the formula:

`percentage = (sale \: price)/(original \: price) * 100`

Substituting the given values, we get:

`percentage = (424.15)/(499.0) * 100 \\ = 0.8497 * 100 \\ = 84.97`

Therefore, the sale price represents 84.97% of the original price. We could also round this to 85% if desired

Answer 2

100-15=85 is the percent of the original price that you pay

Explanation:

499-424.15=74.85

499:100=4.99

74.85:4.99=15 is the percent of the discount

100-15=85
