Question

A shopper at a clearance sale is

pleased to discover some chests
of drawers on sale for $115 each.
The original price tags read $125.
What is the discount, as a
percentage?

Answer 1

Answer: 8%

Step-by-step explanation: This is how I found my answer:

125-115 / 125

10/125

=0.08

0.08 x 100

8%

I hope this helped!

Answer 2

discount=8%

you can take 115/125 which equals 0.92, and then it would be 0.08 leftover so that would be 8%.
you can also find the difference of 125-115=10 and then divide ten by 125 and you get 0.08, which is 8%.
hope this helps!
