A store is having an inventory reduction sale, so an employee marks down some rubber stamps from $0.39 to $0.26. What percentage is the discount?
Round your answer to the nearest percent and include a percent sign (%).
To find the discount percentage, we need to find the difference between the original price and the sale price, and then divide that by the original price and multiply by 100.
The original price is $0.39 and the sale price is $0.26.
The difference is $0.39 - $0.26 = $0.13.
To find the discount percentage, we divide $0.13 by $0.39 and multiply by 100.
($0.13 / $0.39) * 100 = 33.33%.
Rounded to the nearest percent, the discount is 33%.
