Hey!

------------------------------------------------

~Subtract

500 - 175 = 325

~Divide

325 / 500 = 0.65

~Multiply

0.65 x 100 = 65%

------------------------------------------------

Hence, the discount is
\Large\boxed{\mathsf{65~percent}}

------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
