Question

Beanbag chairs that normally sell for 36.50 are on sale for 32.12 find the precent of discount round your answer to the nearest tenth of a precent

Answer 1

Answer: 12.0 %

Explanation:

Since according to the question,

The initial price of the chair ( Marked price) = 36.50

And, After the discount the price of the chair = 32.12

Thus, the discount on the price = 36.50 - 32.12 = 4.38

Therefore the discount percentage =
`(discount)/(marked price) * 100`

=
`(4.38)/(36.50) * 100`

=
`(438)/(36.50)`

= 12 %

Thus, the percentage of discount = 12.0 %
