If a laptop computer regularly cost $1096 and it’s on sale for $736 what percentage discount is being given round your answer to the nearest hundredth when necessary

step 1

Find out the difference

1096-736=$360

step 2

In this problem

$1,096 represent the 100%

so

applying proportion, find out how much percentage represent the difference

100%/1,096=x/360

solve for x

x=100*360/1,096

x=32.85%
