Question

A tool set is on sale for $424.15.The original price of tthe tool set was $499.00. What percent of the original price is the sale price?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The sale price is out of the original price so do 424.15 / 499.00 to find what it is out of in decimal form. Multiply your answer by 100 to find the percentage.

So:

424.15 / 499.00 =0.85

0.85 x 100 = 85

So the answer would 85%.

Hope this helps!
