Answer 1

Answer:

        45%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent discount , we take the old price and subtract the new price and divide by the old price

discount = (old - new)/ old * 100 percent

               = (20-11)/20 * 100 percent

                = 9/20 * 100 percent

                     .45 * 100 percent

                45%
