Answer:

discount percent = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mia bought a poster that was discounted $5 from an original price of $20

Original price is $20

Discount amount is $5

Let x be the percentage of discount

Discount % is x%

original price times discount percentage is equal to discount amount

$20 \cdot \frac{x}{100} = 5$

multiply both times by 100

$20x= 500$

Divide both sides by 20

x= 25%

So discount percent = 25%

20.00 divided by x = 5.00

It's 25% I'm just not sure how to put it out for you :/
