Question

A coat originally costs $75. It is on sale for $52.50. What percent is the discount?

Answer 1

Answer:

The discount percentage on the coat = 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the original cost of the coat = $75

The sale price of the same coat = $52.50

Now, here DISCOUNT = ORIGINAL PRICE - SALE PRICE

= $75 -  $52.50 =  $22.50

⇒The discount amount on the coat = $22.50

$\textrm{Discount Percentage} = \frac{\textrm{Discount}}{\textrm{Original Price}} \times 100\\=\frac{22.50}{75} \times 100 = 30$

⇒The discount percentage on the coat = 30%
