Answer 1

The discount was 75% off

Answer 2

75%

Explanation:

We are given that

The original price of scarf=$16

Shopper saved on the scarf=$12

We have to find the percentage discount on the scarf she received.

Discount=$12

To find the discount percentage we will use the formula given below :

Discount percentage=
`(discount)/(original\;price)* 100`

Substitute the values in the given formula

Then, we get

Discount percentage=
`(12)/(16)* 100=75` %

Hence, she received discount percentage on the scarf=75%
