Question

A shopper at a clearance sale is pleased to discover some cookie jars on sale for $19 each. The original price tags read $20. What is the discount percentage?
Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Answer 1

Answer:

To find the percent of change, divide the difference by the original amount.

Step-by-step explanation: The difference is 20-19=1. Divide this by the original to get 0.05. This means you got a 5% discount (move the decimal two places)
