is it F.)16.8%  G.)20%  H.)25%  I.)80%

anonymous · Answer

84-67.20=$16.8 difference
16.8/84 x 100 = 20%  discount

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{16.8}{84}\times100 = 20 %$$

anonymous · Answer

$16.8 is the difference calculated and we have to put it over the original amount of $84 to calculate the 20% discount received.

anonymous · Answer

how did you get 100? i feel that you got the right answer i just dont know where you got the 100 from?

anonymous · Answer

you see the question says what percent discount? percent you always have to times 100.

anonymous · Answer

16.8/84 = 0.2
and if they said in the question they wanted it in ratios than 0.2 is fine but they want it in percentage so 0.2 x 100= 20%
