Question

Kayla wanted to buy a sweatshirt. The original price was $45. When she went to the store the sale price was $37. What is the percent discount on the sale price?

can someone explain how to solve this question.. it would mean a lot to me, thanks :)

Answer 1

You need to cross multiply 37/45+x/100 which equals 17%

Explanation:

The first part represents the 37 dollars out of the original 45 and the second part represents x= the unknown percent out of 100 percent. This would be 17%
