I am interested in a new van that costs $32,500. The salesman says he will give it to me for $27,950. What is the percent discount he is giving me?

Answer:

The salesman is giving you a 14% discount

Explanation:

Do 27950/32500 to get 0.86

Then do 1-0.86=0.14

Multiply by 100 to get 14%

Hope this helped!
