Question

What is the percent of the discount?

Answer 1

The full price is $82, (100%), the discounted price is $65.60, (?%)

So lets see something:

$82 ------------- 100%

$65.60 --------------- x%

Multiply in cross

82.x = 65,60 . 100

82x = 6560

Divide both sides by 82

82x/82 = 6560/82

x = 80

So the discounted price is equal to 80% of the initial price

100% - 80% = 20% so the discount is 20%
