Question

If it laptop computer right now because $1549 and is on sale for $1149 what percentage discount is being given round your answer to the nearest hundredth when necessary

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the following equation:

Sale Price=Original Price*(100%-Percentage discount)

Replacing we obtain:

$1149=$1549*(100%-Percentage discount)

$1149/$1549=(100%-Percentage discount)

0.7417=100%-Percentage discount

Percentage Discount=100%-0.7417

Percentage Discount=1-0.7417

Percentage Discount=0.2583

Percentage Discount=25.83%

Finally we obtain that the discount percentage is 25.83%.
