Question

A cashier checks the price of a hockey stick that is marked $44, because it usually rings up at $80. What is the discount percentage?

Answer 1

The discount percentage is 45%.

Explanation:

To be able to determine the discount percentage, you can use the following formula:

Discount percentage=(final price-original price/original price)*100

Original price=80

Final price=44

Now, you can replace the values in the formula:

Discount percentage=(44-80/80)*100

Discount percentage=-45%

According to this, the answer is that the discount percentage is 45%.
