Question

A Discount clothing store is selling a $72 sport jacket for $24 off the regular price. What is the discount rate?

Answer 1

                 72-24=48

                 x% of 72=48

         (/72)x/100 *72=48 (/72)

           (*100 ) x/100=2/3  (*100)

                              x= 66.67%

100% -66.67%=33.33% discount
