Question

suppose that a car normally sells for $16,500 and is now $14,000. what is the percent of discount

Answer 1

15% i think...

Answer 2

Of we want to know how much percent the car was reduced, we must understand that a percent is a fraction.

The denominator is the whole, and the numerator is some amount of it we are concerned with. In this case it is how much the whole was reduced by.

That would be 16000-14000.
Place that in the numerator position and 16000 in the denominator. The answer is your percentage.
