Question

Suzanne bought a sweater at the sale price of 25.the original cost of the sweater was 40.what percent represents the discount that suzane recived

Answer 1

To do this, you need to work out the percentage value 15 is (40-25)
You divide 100 by 40 to find out the percentage of 100 one is.

100 / 40 = 2.5,
Then multiply 15 by 2.5 to work out the percentage change:
15 * 2.5 = 37.5.

The percent discount is 37.5%

Hope this helps!
