Question

A book is on sale for $6 off of the regular $24 price. What percent is the discount? [Type your answer as a number.] Also please explain how to do it.

Answer 1

6$ / 24$ = p / 100%
ratio of money off to total price equals percent off to total percent

1/4 = p/100
100/4 = p
25% = p

Answer 2

6/24=1/4... the answer is 25% off
hope this helps!

another way to find it is 24-6=18 and keep subtracting till u get to zero and how ever many times u subtracted, u take one over whatever was the number of times subtracted
