Question

A car’s original price was $26,500. Mr. Thomas paid $19,610. What percent discount did Mr. Thomas receive on the car?

Answer 1

26,500 - 19,610 = 6,890

6,890 would be your price discount, but now you'd have to find your percent discount. Make it into an equation to make things easier.

6,890/26,500 = p/100

(6,890*100)/26,500 = p

6,890*100 = 689,000

689,000/26,500 = 26

The price discount would be 26%.
