Question

Please let me know the answer, and please provide a detailed explanation.

Answer 1

B: 25%

Explanation:

First, you find that you are trying to find a percent DISCOUNT. Then you take the sale price of $59.95 over the original price $79.95 . It would look like this: 59.95/79.95 . You divide the numbers, and do 1 - the answer (of the division you just did) because 1 means 100% while the answer you got from the division was 0.75 which mean 75 %. You minus those two numbers to get the discount. Hopefully, this is a detailed explanation.

Answer 2

With $59.95 nearing to $60 and 79.95 nearing to $80.

80 x 25% =

80 x 1 / 4 =

80 / 4 =

20
