Question

mick took his friend out to dinner the bill was $40 but he applied a coupon then the total price was $33 what was the % off?

Answer 1

17.5 %

Step-by-step explanation

We have to find the percent change, given that the initial price was $40 and the final price was $33.

`\text{ \% }change=(final.price-initial.price)/(initial.price)*100`
`\text{\% }change=(33-40)/(40)*100=(-7)/(40)*100=-0.175*100=-17.5\text{\%}`

The coupon was for 17.5% off
