Question

Drag the green point on the tape diagram to model a discount of 27%.

If the discount is 27%, then what percent of the original price do you pay?

Answer 1

73%

Explanation:

Let us have the original price as $100

A discount of 27% will be;

27/100 * 100 = $27

so, the value to be paid will be $100 - $27 = $73

Now, what percentage of $100 is the $73 that was paid

that would be;

73/100 * 100% = 73%
