Question

55) A shirt that usually costs $30 is on sale for $20. Find the percent of the discount.

Answer 1

Answer:

Percentage of Discount :---

$\frac{(30 - 20)}{30} \times 100 = \frac{10}{30} \times 100=\boxed{33.33\%}$

Answer 2

Find the amount of the discount and divide by the original price:

30-20 = 10

10/30 = 0. 333

Multiply by 100 for percent:

0.333 x 100 = 33.3333%

Round the answer as needed.
