Question

The regular price of a pair of glasses is $90. The glasses are on sale for a discount price of $76.50 What is the percent of the discount ?

Answer 1

percent of the discount is 15%

Answer 2

15%

Explanation:

`(76.50)/(90)=(x)/(100)` Set up a proportion.

`90x=7,650` Cross-multiply.

`x=85` Divide both sides by 90.

`100-85=15` The discounted price is 85% of the regular price so the

discount is 15%.
