Question

The original price of a computer game is $45. The price is marked down by $18. What percent of the original price is the markdown?

Answer 1

60

Explanation:

Answer 2

60%

Explanation:

To know the discount, we must know how much that $ 18 represents of the original price, as follows:

18/45 = 0.4

That is, $ 18 is 40% of $ 45

Therefore, to calculate the discount we must subtract what represents 45%, that is, 100%

100% - 40% = 60%

In other words, the discount is 60%
