18.5%

Explanation:

We know

Emma saw a purse on sale for $46.95

The Original price of the skateboard was $57.63

What is the APPROXIMATE percent discount on the purse?

We use the formula:

Percent Discount = ((Original Price - Sale Price) / Original Price) · 100

Let's solve

((57.63 - 46.95) ÷ 57.63) · 100 ≈ 18.5% discount

So, the percent discount on the purse is 18.5%.
