Question

Raymond bought a handbag marked down from $50 to $45. What is the discount, as a percentage?

Answer 1

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

First, we will find the amount that was saved from the markdown.

$50 - $45 = $5

Next, we will find what percent this is of $50.

$5 / $50 = 0.1 ➜ 10%

The discount, as a percentage, is 10%.
