Question

A television normally costs $1,420. Due to a store sale the television is now $1,022.40 what was the percentage taken off the television (I need to show work please help me)

Answer 1

Percent off is 28%

Explanation:

Cost of Television = $1420

Cost of Television after store sale =$1022.40

Drop in price= 1420-1022.40= 397.60.

Price taken off = $ 397.60.

Percentage taken off= \frac{Difference }{original} x 100.

= \frac{397.60}{1420} x 100=28%.
