What is Selling price?

Selling price is defined as the price that a customer pays to purchase a product.

Selling price of dress is $58.80

The regular price of the dress is $98

Let the discount is x

So, sale price is x% lower than regular price =

98(100 - x)/100 = 58.80

So, (100 - x) =  5880/98

Or, x = 40
