Question

The original price is $125. The sale price is $81.25. How much was the discount as a percent?

Answer 1

Answer:

Discount Percent = 35.00 %

Step-by-step explanation:

125-81.25=43.75 actual discount

43.75/125 = 0.35 actual discount / original

0.35 as percentage = 35%  

Answer 2

Answer: 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by subtracting the original price by the sale price.

125-81.25=43.75

Now divide that amount by the original price.

$\frac{43.75}{125} =0.35$

Multiply that value by 100 for the answer

0.35×100=35

35%
