Question

HELP PLEASE!!!!!! Anaya bought a sweater that was on sale. The sweater originally cost $34.50 but was purchased for $27.60. What percentage of the original price was the discount?

Answer 1

Answer: 80%. Hope this helps, please consider making me Brainliest.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage, divide the sale cost by the original cost:

27.60/34.50

Let's multiply both sides by 10 to make the operation easier:

27.6/34.5 ( I eliminated the zero's because they kind of have no use) -->

276/345, now solve:

276/345 = 0.8

0.8 = 80%

The percentage is 80%.
