A store manager is marking down chess boards from $25 to $14. What percentage is the discount?
1 answer:
Remember: when calculating percent it will always be over 100. With the given numbers 14 is your part out of the total (25). It should be written as part/whole.
As previously said, the percent is always over 100. (x/100)
In this problem you are given the part (14) and the whole (25). So it would be 14/25. The percent in this problem would be x/100. Now to find percent with the given part/whole, you would multiply 14 with 100. Then simply divide by 25.
