Question

A $79 television is on sale for $65. What percent discount was given A) 18% B) 82% C) 65% D) 6%

Answer 1

A) 18%

Explanation:

Find percent change by subtracting to find the change, then put that over the original amount and times by 100.

79 - 65 is 14

change/original is

14/79

= .177

Then times 100 to make the decimal into a percent.

0.177×100 is 17.7%

which rounds to 18%.
