in a catalog a jacket was marked down from $75 to $48. what was the percent of discount on the jackets original price?
Divide the difference by the original price. Multiply the decimal answer by 100 to get the percentage.
Ms. Sue ... can you please help me with my questions. My name is Jake. Much appreciated.
I'm sorry, Jake, but I don't know how to help you with your problems. I'm a middle school teacher, not a math teacher.
To find the percent discount on the jacket's original price, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Subtract the sale price from the original price to find the amount of discount.
$75 - $48 = $27
Step 2: Divide the discount amount by the original price.
$27 / $75 = 0.36
Step 3: Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
0.36 * 100 = 36
Therefore, the percent discount on the jacket's original price is 36%.
