Question

casho went shopping for a new pair of sneakers because of a sale. the price on the tag was $25, but casho paid $22.50 before tax. find the percent discount.

Explanation:

Step1: Find amount of discount

$25 - 22.50= 2.5$

Step2: Calculate percent - discount

Percent discount = $\frac{\text{Discount amount}}{\text{Original price}}\times100\%=\frac{2.5}{25}\times100\%$
$\frac{2.5}{25}\times100\% = 0.1\times100\%=10\%$

Answer:

$10\%$
