Question

The original price of a scarf was $25. During a store-closing sale, a shopper saved $15 on the scarf. 1. What percentage discount did she receive? Type the answer in the box below. She received a % discount.

Answer 1

60%

Explanation:

How I did it is I put 15 over 25 and multiplied it by x over 100.

It should look like this

15/25 x x/100

which 15 multiplied by 100 is 1500 and then 1500 divided by 25 is 60

Does this help?

Answer 2

there was a 60 percent discount on the scarf
