Answer 1

0.76

Explanation:

4975 × 0.76 = 3781

the discount percent given is .76%

Answer 2

well, we know the discount is 4975 - 3781 = 1194.

if we take 4975 to be the 100%, what is 1194 off of it in percentage?

`\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 4975 & 100\\ 1194& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{4975}{1194}~~=~~\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{26}{6}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 26x = 600\implies x=\cfrac{600}{26}\implies x\approx 23.08`
