Question

Big Lots has sofas that originally sold for $540 and

are now on sale for $459. What is the percent
discount?

Answer 1

The answer is: 15%
$540 X .15 = $81
$540- $81 = $459

Answer 2

To calculate the percent discount, you can use the following formula:

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

In this case, the original price is $540 and the sale price is $459. Applying the formula:

((540 - 459) / 540) * 100 = 14.63%

So, the percent discount is approximately 14.63%.
