Explanation:

Given :-

• A woman buys a pair of shoes at a sale . She paid $60 and saving $15 on the regular price.

To Find :-

• The percentage discount on the shoes

Solution. :-

She pays 60 dollers and saved 15 dollers on the regular price.

original price of pair of shoes = 60 + 15 = 75

Percentage discount is = original price - new price / original price

= 75 - 60 / 75 = 15 / 75 = 0.2

Percentage discount = 0.2

Change into percentage =0.2× 100 = 20%

Therefore, the percentage discount on the shoes is 20 % .

Answer 2

20 %

Explanation:

If she saved 15 dollars and paid 60, the original price was 60+15 = 75

The percent discount is (original - new) / original = ( 75-60)/75 = 15/75 = .2

Change to percent form = .2 * 100 =20%
