Answer:

20% discount

Explanation:

Given the following question:

20% of 400

To find the answer we will use the formula to calculate percentages, once we have that answer we then subtract it from the original price to see if we have the same new price as the question.


(p* n)/(100)

(20*40)/(100)

20*40=8000

8000/100=80

=80

Subtract from the original price:

400

400-80=320

=320

The dress has a "20% discount."

Hope this helps.
