1 answer:

6 0

To find a percentage of a product, multiply by the decimal form of that percentage (20%=0.20;50%=0.50). Taking $140 and multiplying by 0.35 gives us 49, which we subtract from the original total and get $91. So, the percentage decrease is 35%.

Original price of the item = $14.95

Price after discount = $13.79

Discount offered = original price - price after discount = 14.95- 13.79 = $1.16

Now let us find the percentage of discount offered.

Percentage discount is given by the formula:

$Percentage discount = \frac{MP-SP}{MP}*100$

Where MP= Marked price= original price

SP= selling price= price after discount

$Percentage discount = \frac{1.16}{14.95}*100$

Percentage discount = 7.759 %
