A computer is normally $550 but is discounted to$385 what percent of the original price dose mark pay
A. 16.5
B. 30%
C. 65%
D. 70%
I might be a little late but the answer is 70%
The answer is 30%
385/550 = 0.7
what percent is that?
If that's the answer, then the question is wrong.
30% is the discount, not what he paid.
Or, it should have said it was discounted by $385, not to $385.

To find out what percentage of the original price Mark pays for the computer, we need to calculate the difference between the discounted price and the original price.
Original price of the computer: $550
Discounted price of the computer: $385
To find the difference, subtract the discounted price from the original price:
$550 - $385 = $165
So Mark pays $165 less than the original price.
To calculate the percentage that this difference represents of the original price, divide the difference by the original price and multiply by 100:
($165 / $550) * 100 = 30%
Therefore, Mark pays 30% of the original price.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 30%.
