Question

In April 2008, an audio CD was available for $14.01. the list price (full price) of the CD was $19.32. What was the percent discount?

Answer 1

19.30 - ( p / 100 )*19.32 = 14.01 ;
19.30( 1 - p/100 ) = 14.01 ;
1 - p/100 = 14.01 / 19.30
1 - p / 100 = 0.72 ;
p/100 = 1 - 72 / 100 ;
p/100 = 28 / 100 ;
p = 28 ;
The percent discount is 28% ;
