Question

store announced that their $500 appliances were on sale for $475 what is the percent discount on the appliances

Answer 1

Answer:

We are given that a store announced that their $500 appliances were on sale.

The price of the appliances after discount is $475.

We are required to find the percent discount on the appliances.

To find the percent discount, we have to use the below formula:

$\frac{(Actual-discounted)}{Actual} \times 100\%$

$\frac{500-475}{500}\times 100\%$

$\frac{25}{500} \times 100\%$

$0.05 \times 100\%$

$5\%$

Therefore, the percent discount on the appliances is 5%
