Question

Walmart has jeans on sale for $42.89 the regular price is $59.99 what’s the savings before tax

Answer 1

59.99 - 59.99 x saving rate = 42.89

with saving rate = r%

59.99 - 59.99 x r% = 42.89

so 59,99 ( 1 - r%) = 42.89

1 - r% = 42.89 : 59.99

1 - r% = 0,7150

r% = 1 - 0,7150

r = 28,5%
