Answer:
6.25%
Step-by-step explanation:
discount/ normal price
5/80
And we are trying to find out the percentage, so
x/100
Set the 2 equations equal to each other
5/80=x/100
Cross multiply
80x=500
Divide by 80 on both sides
x= 6.25
It equals to 3/5 and in alternative form is 0.6
Hope this helps. I think it's right? haha haven't done this in a while.
