A percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100. If we have to calculate percent of a number, divide the number by whole and multiply by 100.

Given

An mp3 player is on sale for 30% off the regular price of $39. 98.

The price of the mp3 player after the 30% is given

$\rm Cost \ of \ player \ after \ discount = Cost \ of \ player \times discount\\\\\rm Cost \ of \ player \ after \ discount = 39.98\times 0.30\\\\\rm Cost \ of \ player \ after \ discount = 11.99$
