Question

How do I find the percent of discount to the nearest percent if my problem is... Hockey ticket: regular price, $25 sale price, $20

Answer 1

I would assume it would be \[\frac{ saleprice }{ originalprice }\times 100\]

Answer 2

Thank u

Answer 3

anytime

Answer 4

the percent discount will be 100 minus that value.

for example, if you had something that normally sells for 100, and it is sold at a discount for 90, your formula will give you 90/100 = 90%
the discount will be 10%

(10% discount means take 10% off the original price.)

you could find the discount percent by using
(original - sales)/ original
and then changing that fraction to a decimal, and then a percent.
