Cannon sells the IVY REC for $130. Early crowdfunders could buy it for $104. What is this discount written as a percent?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the difference between $130 and $104. This equals $26, and to find this discount written as a percent, divide $26 by the original cost of the camera. 26/130=0.2, which represents a 20% discount.
