Find the percent if discount when the regular price for a DVD recorder is $250 and its sale price is $175

(250 - 175) / 250 = ?

To find the percent discount, you need to calculate the difference between the regular price and the sale price, and then express that difference as a percentage of the regular price.

1. Calculate the difference between the regular price and the sale price:
Discount = Regular Price - Sale Price
= $250 - $175
= $75

2. Express the discount as a percentage of the regular price:
Percent Discount = (Discount / Regular Price) * 100
= ($75 / $250) * 100
= 0.3 * 100
= 30%

Therefore, the percent discount for the DVD recorder is 30%.
