Question

Last week, a skate shop originally sold a skateboard for $120. Today, there is a sale and the same skateboard costs $96. What is the percentage of the discount? Please show me how to do it

Answer 1

120 - 96 = 24

Now we have to find what percent of 120 24 is.

x × 120 = 24
x = 0.2

0.2 means 20%.

The discount is 20% off.
