Answer this word problem: Kevin wants to buy a "no fetch" putting mat for $114.30 less that the normal price. If the mat normally costs $245, by what percent is it being discounted? (Don't forget to convert your answer into a percent.)

Thanks!

Answer:

46.65%

Explanation:

Discount = $ 114.30

Discount percent =
(discount price)/(Normal price)*100\\


= (114.30)/(245)*100\\\\= 46.65

= 46.65%
