Question

Amir purchased a book at a discount price of $23.10. The original book price was $30.00. What was the percent of discount on the book?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer: 23%

Divide discounted price of book by original price. That will give you the percent you PAID. Take percentage paid from 100%. Or calculate the amount of discount 30-23.10. Take that amount and divide it by 30.00. Both ways will get you there. You can double check your work by multiplying your answer by 30.00 and it should give you 23.10.
