Question

Jeremiah paid $29.52 for a pair of boots that were on sale. The original price of the boots was 36.00 enter the percentage discount for the cost of the boots.

Answer 1

Answer: The percentage discount for the cost of the boots= 18 %

Explanation:

Discount equals Price before Discount( original price ) − Price after Discount

=$36.00 −$29.52

=$6.48

Percentage discount = Discount / Price before Discount ( original price) X 100

= $6.48 / $36.00 x 100

= 0.18 x 100

= 18 %
