Problem

Find the marked price and the rate of discount for a camcorder whose price has been reduced by 95$ and whose sale price is 255$.​

Solution

For this case we can find the real price with this operation:

95+265= 360

And the rate of discount can be founded as:

(95/265)*100= 35.85%

Rounded to the nearest percent would be 36%
