Question

A television that regularly sells for $300 is on sale for $224. What is the percent discount, to the nearest tenth of a percent?

Answer 1

25.3%

Explanation:

Marked price = $300

Selling price = $224

To find the discount, subtract selling price from marked price.

Discount = marked price - selling price

= 300 - 224

= $ 76

`\boxed{\bf Discount \% = (Discount)/(Marked \ price)*100 }`

`\sf = (76)/(300)*100\\\\= 25.3 \%`
