Question

Find the percent of discount. Round to the nearest tenth.
original price $21,240; selling price $15,360

Answer 1

discount = original price - selling price
discount = 21240 - 15360 = 5880
percent discount = (discount / original price) * 100
percent discount = (5880/21240 ) * 100
            "               = 0.2768 * 100 = 27.68 % rounded = 27.7%
