Question

The regular price of a tennis racquet is $79.99 and the sale price is $64.99. Find the percent of discount to the nearest whole percent.

Answer 1

Explanation:

$79.99 - $64.99 = $15

(79.99 - 64.99)/|79.99| =15

15/79.99 =

15 ÷ 79.99 =

15 ÷ 79.99 × 100/100 =

(15 × 100 ÷ 79.99)/100 =

(1,500 ÷ 79.99)/100

≈18.752344043005/100 =

18.752344043005% ≈18.75%;
