Question

Bob decides to go get ice cream. He sees that 1 scoop costs $3.60. Then he sees a discount on Christmas that says that all day 1 scoop costs $1.50. What is the percent of the discount? How would you figure this out? Please explain thoroughly.

Answer 1

You divide the new answer by the old answer.

so its 1.50/3.60 which equals .416666... in percent that is 41 2/3 percent. so your answer is 41 2/3
