perl · Answer

You can solve the equation
185 ( 1 - d/100) = 162,80

anonymous · Answer

discount = Usual Price - Amount Paid
discount = 185 - 162.8
discount = $22.2
let Dp = percent discount
$$Dp=\frac{ discount }{ UsualPrice }*100$$
$$Dp=\frac{ 22.2 }{ 185 }*100$$
Dp = 12%
percent discount is 12%
