Question

Find the percent of discount. Original price: $95 Sale price: $61.75

Answer 1

To find the percentage, we divide the sale price by the original price,  and then multiply it by 100 to change the answer from a decimal to a percentage.

61.75 / 95 = 0.65
0.65 x 100 = 65%

This tells us that $61.75 is 65% of $95

To find the percentage decrease, we subtract this answer from 100%.

Answer: 100 - 65 = 35%

So the discount was 35%
