Question

Larry and Donna bought a sofa at the sale price of $1,344. The original price of the sofa was $1,920. Find the percent of discount.

Answer 1

It is given that the sofa was bought at a price of $1344.

The original price was $1920.

Hence the discount is given by:

`1920-1344=576`

The discount is of 576 dollars.

The percentage discount is given by:

`(576)/(1920)*100=30`

Hence 30% discount was given.
