Answer: 5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi to answer this question, first we have to calculate the discount amount:
Original price - sale price
500-475 =25
Now, the original price (500) multiplied by the percent discount in decimal form (x) must be equal to the discount amount (25)
500x =25
Solving for x
x =25/500 =0.05
Multiply it by 100 to express in percentage form.
0.05 x 100 = 5%
