Question

A coat originally costs $75. It is on sale for $52.50. What percent is the discount?

Answer 1

The discount percentage on the coat = 30%

Explanation:

Here, the original cost of the coat = $75

The sale price of the same coat = $52.50

Now, here DISCOUNT = ORIGINAL PRICE - SALE PRICE

= $75 - $52.50 = $22.50

⇒The discount amount on the coat = $22.50

`\textrm{Discount Percentage} = \frac{\textrm{Discount}}{\textrm{Original Price}} * 100\\=(22.50)/(75)  * 100 =  30`

⇒The discount percentage on the coat = 30%
