Question

Denise bought a t-shirt at the sale price of $25 the original cost of the T-shirt was $40 what percent represents the discount that Denise received when buying the T-shirt

Answer 1

37.50%

Explanation:

Use the formula: Old Value minus New Value (in absolute value bars) divided by Old Value times 100

New Value = $25 / Old Value = $40

$40 - $25 = $15

$15 divided by $40 is 0.375

0.375 times 100 (0.375 x 100) is 37.50
