Question

A bracelet that normally sells for $30.00 is on sale for $25.50. What is the percent discount?

Answer 1

15% off

Explanation:

We know we paid $25.50 of the original $30. We can divide these two numbers
`(25.5)/(30)=0.85`. This is means we paid 85% of the original price. The discount percentage is the remaining percentage from 85 to 100 which is 15. The pants were 15% off.
