Question

With a coupon, you can get a pair of shoes that normally costs $96 for $72. What percentage was the discount?

Answer 1

The discount is 25%.

Explanation:

Because you're solving for the discount, that means you have to set up the equation 72 = 96x, where x is the percent of the original price. The percent would then be 1 - x, and that would be 25% as your answer.

Answer 2

25%

Explanation:

96 - 72 = 24

24/96 = 0.25

0.25 = 25%

hope this helps!!
