Question

Answer 1

Answer: The percentage discount for the cost of the boots= 18 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount equals   Price before Discount( original price )  −  Price after Discount

=$36.00  −$29.52

=$6.48

Percentage discount =  Discount / Price before Discount ( original price) X 100

= $6.48 / $36.00 x 100

= 0.18 x 100

= 18 %
