Question

A DVD is available at a store for $16.99. The list price of this DVD was $18.75. What was the percent discount? % (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Answer 1

The cost of DVD = $16.99

The list price of this DVD was $18.75

So, the discount =

`18.75-16.99=1.76`

And the percent discount =

`(1.76)/(18.75)\cdot100=9.3866\%`

Rounding the answer to the nearest tenth

So, the answer will be : the percent discount = 9.4%
