Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Rounding, we get 11.5 percent

Explanation:

To find the percent of discount, we take the original price, subtract the new price, and divide by the original price. Then multiply by 100 for the percent.

percent discount = (original - new)/ original * 100

percent discount = (36.30-32.12) /36.30 * 100

percent discount = (4.18) /36.30 * 100

percent discount = .115151515 * 100

percent discount = 11.51515 percent

Rounding, we get 11.5 percent
