Question

Traditions clothing store is having a sale. Shirts that were regularly priced at $20 are on sale $17. Explain how to find the discount offered for the price of the shirts?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the discount in percentage offered for the price of the shirts.

The regular price of the shirts was $20

The price for which the shirt was offered for sale is $17 which also represents the discounted price.

The discount would be

20 - 17 = $3

The percentage discount would be

The discount/ the regular price × 100%.

Therefore,

% discount = 3/20 × 100 = 0.15 × 100

= 15%
