Question

A bracelet that normally sells for $30.00 is on sale for $25.50. What is the percent discount?

Answer 1

Answer:

15% off

Step-by-step explanation:

We know we paid $25.50 of the original $30. We can divide these two numbers $\frac{25.5}{30}=0.85$. This is means we paid 85% of the original price. The discount percentage is the remaining percentage from 85 to 100 which is 15. The pants were 15% off.
