A store usually sells two rolls of wallpaper for $49.90. The store is running a special, two rolls of wallpaper for $42.42. What is the percent discount?

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

percent discount= (initial price-final price)/initial price*100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you would do $49.90- $42.44= $7.48/ $49.90 = 0.149899....* 100= 14.989 or ~ 15% ?

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):
