Answer 3

ok ill let u know give me a min

Answer 4

our starting price is 120
our ending price is 105

since we start with 120
and we discount it to get 105
we must multiply 120 by an unknown number to get 105

so let that number be x

120x=105

this would give us the percentage left from 120

so 105 is 87.5% of 120

that means we subtract this from 100% to get the discount percentage

100%-87.5%=12.5%
