What is the percent of change in the cost of a DVD set that originally sold for$69.99 and is now on sale for $44.99? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer: 36%; yes, the % change is equal to the percent discount
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial price = $69.99
Final price = $44.99
change in price = |(final - initial)|
change in price = |(44.99 - 69.99)|
change in price = $25
25/69.99 = x/100
100(25/69.99) = x
100(0.357) = x
35.7% = x
x = 36%
