Question

James went to the store and bought a pair of shoes on sale for $40.00. This week they were a regular price of $64.50. What was the percent discount that he bought the shoes for?

I need work shown.

Answer 1

A. 62%

Explanation:

64.50x = 40

x = 0.62015 or 62%

This means 62% of original price is $40, discount is 38%. From your options seem to be asking for percent of original price paid and not discount.
