Given parameters:

Original selling price = $84

Discounted Selling price = $72

Unknown:

Percentage discount = ?

Solution:

To find the percentage discount;

  • Find the discount amount
  • Then find the percentage discount from this value when you place it over the original selling price

Discount = Original selling price - Discounted selling price

= $84 - $72

= $12

Now,

Percentage discount =
(12)/(84) x 100 = 14.3%

The percentage discount is 14.3%
