Question

Micah pays 54$ for an item originally priced 60$. What percentage of the original price was his discount?

Answer 1

Answer: The percentage of the original price was his discount = 10%

Explanation:

Given: original price = $60

Price after discount = $54

Discount = Price after discount - original price

= $ (60-54) = $6

The percentage of the original price was his discount =
`(Discount)/(Original\ price)*100`

`=(6)/(60)*100\%\\\\=(1)/(10)*100\%\\\\=10\%`

Hence, the percentage of the original price was his discount = 10%
