how do you find the percent of discount. Round to the nearest percent. Regular price: $136 and Sale price: $95.50

Respuesta :

Answer:

approximately 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the discount first:  $136 - $95.50 = $40.50

Next, find the fraction of the regular price represented by this discount:

$40.50

------------ = 0.298

  $136

The original price ($136) is discounted by approximately 30%.

Check:  (1 - 0.30)(regular price) = 0.70($136) = $95.20  which is almost but not precisely the same as the given sale price ($95.50).
