The percentage discount for the good bought by Nora is 17%.

<h3>What is the percentage discount?</h3>

A percentage is a value or ratio that may be stated as a fraction of 100. If we need to calculate a percentage of a number, we should divide it's entirety and then multiply it by 100. The percentage therefore refers to a component per hundred. Per 100 is what the word percent means. It is represented by %.

In this situation, Nora has a loyalty card good for a discount at her local pharmacy. The item she wants to buy is priced at $28, before discount and tax. After the discount, and before tax, the price is $23.24.

The percentage discount will be:

= Discount / Original value × 100

= (28 - 23.24) / 28 × 100

= 4.76 / 28 × 100

= 17%
