Question

store announced that their $500 appliances were on sale for $475 what is the percent discount on the appliances

Answer 1

We are given that a store announced that their $500 appliances were on sale.

The price of the appliances after discount is $475.

We are required to find the percent discount on the appliances.

To find the percent discount, we have to use the below formula:

`((Actual-discounted))/(Actual) * 100\%`

`(500-475)/(500)* 100\%`

`(25)/(500) * 100\%`

`0.05 * 100\%`

`5\%`

Therefore, the percent discount on the appliances is 5%
