Question

A television is discounted from $300 to $173. Find the percent of discount

Answer 1

Discount from 300 to 173

First, calculate the discount amount:

Discount amount: 300-173= $127

300 multiplied by the percentage discount in decimal form(x) is equal to the discount amount:

300 x = 127

x = 127/300

x = 0.42

0.42 x 100 = 42%
