Question

What is the percent discount if a 12,500 car is now on special for 10,250?

Answer 1

Answer:

18% discount

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent discount is found by the following formula:

$\frac{original-discount}{original}$

In this scenario, the original is 12500 and the discount, or special is 10250.

We can plug this into the formula to get

$\frac{12500-10250}{12500}$

We can simplify the numerator by subtracting, and we get that answer as 2250.

We get the remainder of the answer as 2250 divided by 12500. We divide that, and get the answer as 0.18, which can be rewritten as 18%.
