Question

Min-jun wants to buy a pair of shoes that normally costs $2.33. It is currently on sale for $1.19. What is the percentage discount? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

To calculate the percentage discount

we use the formula;

%discount = discount / original price x 100%

Discount = $2.33 - $ 1.19=$1.14

original price = $2.33

%discount = $1.14 / $2.33 x100%

=48.9%
