The discount rate is 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Original price of lawnmower = $300

Sale price of lawnmower = $240

Amount of discount = Original - Sale = 300 - 240 = $60

Rate of discount = $\frac{Amount\ of\ discount}{Original\ price}*100$

Rate of discount = $\frac{60}{300}*100$

Rate of discount = $\frac{6000}{300}$

Rate of discount = 20%

The discount rate is 20%.
