If a bored game was originally $25 and it is on sale for $18, what is the percent of the discount?

So it was 25 and now is 18
the decrease was 7
That means that the percent of the discount was about 28%

Hope this helps :)

Calculate the discount price
dc price = 25 - 18
dc price = 7
The discount price is $7

Transform the discount price into percentage
percentage = dc price/whole price × 100%
percentage = 7/25 × 100%
percentage = (700/25)%
percentage = 28%

The percent of the discount is 28%
