Question

A store offers a discount of $57 whenyou buy a painting with an originalprice of $100.What is the percent discount?

Answer 1

Given:

Discount offered = $57

Original price of paint = $100

Let x represent the percentage discount.

Thus, we have:

x% of $100 = $57

Solving further, we have:

`(x)/(100)\ast100=57`
`\begin{gathered} (100x)/(100)=57 \\ \\ x\text{ = 57\%} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the percentage discount is 57%

ANSWER:

57%
