Step-by-step explanation:

The percent change formula is:


\frac{\text{ end value - start value}}{\text{ start value}}*100

The start value is 125 and the end value is 81.25:


(125-81.25)/(125)*100=-35

It's negative because the end value is less, since it's a discount.

Answer:

The discount was 35%
