Answer 2

discount percent = 25%

Explanation:

Mia bought a poster that was discounted $5 from an original price of $20

Original price is $20

Discount amount is $5

Let x be the percentage of discount

Discount % is x%

original price times discount percentage is equal to discount amount

`20 \cdot (x)/(100) = 5`

multiply both times by 100

`20x= 500`

Divide both sides by 20

x= 25%

So discount percent = 25%
