Answer 2

The approximate percent discount on the skateboard is 25.02 %

Explanation:

Given:

Sale Price of Skateboard = $ 59.95

Original Price of the Skateboard = $ 79.95

We need to find Discount percentage on the Skateboard.

Discount amount on the Skateboard = 79.95 - 59.95 = $ 20

So, Discount Percentage =
`(20)/(79.95)*100`

=
`(20*100)/(7995)*100`

=
`(200000)/(7995)`

= 25.025 %

Therefore, The approximate percent discount on the skateboard is 25.02 %
