Answer 2

20%

Explanation:

First we find the actual dollar amount of the discount.

$65.50 - $52.40 = $13.10

Now we need to find what percent of $65.50 is $13.10.

To find what percent a part is of the whole, divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100%.

percent = part/whole * 100%

percent = $13.10/$65.50 * 100% = 20%

Answer: 20%
