Steps:
Let x1 and x2 be the first and second number, respectively.
In words, if the second is 125%, or 5/4 of the first number (first equation),
then the first is 4/5 of the second, which is 0.8 or 80%.
Original price of the item = $14.95
Price after discount = $13.79
Discount offered = original price - price after discount = 14.95- 13.79 = $1.16
Now let us find the percentage of discount offered.
Percentage discount is given by the formula:
Where MP= Marked price= original price
SP= selling price= price after discount
Percentage discount = 7.759 %
